DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR will return to Naval Base Coronado for another race that recognizes the men and women who serve.
The stock-car racing sanctioning body released the 2027 schedule for all three of its national series Wednesday, and the slate for the top-tier Cup Series begins at Florida’s Daytona International Speedway, as usual, and wraps up back in the Sunshine State at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Among the highlights is a return to the San Diego area and Naval Base Coronado for the Cup Series as well as the second-tier O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. NASCAR and the U.S. Department of Defense have unveiled a multiyear plan to host events beyond Coronado, too; in 2028, they intend to take the street-course race to a different U.S. military installation.
The preseason exhibition Clash will be held at Daytona the weekend before the Daytona 500 drops the green flag on the regular season, while the NASCAR All-Star Race will be held at North Carolina’s North Wilkesboro Speedway, as previously announced, and the season-ending championship weekend will return to Homestead for the second straight year.
The South Florida venue hosted NASCAR’s championship weekend from 2002-2019 before welcoming the season finale back for this year’s schedule, which wraps up in November. The venue is currently undergoing a $20 million capital investment project that will transform the track and enhance race-day experiences for fans, partners and industry stakeholders.
