NASCAR unveils 2027 schedule, which includes a return to Naval Base Coronado
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) --- NASCAR will return to Naval Base Coronado for
another race that recognizes the men and women who serve.
The sanctioning body released its 2027 schedule Wednesday. The slate begins at
Daytona International Speedway and wraps up back in the Sunshine State at
Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Among the highlights: a return to San Diego for the Cup and O'Reilly Auto Parks
series. NASCAR and the Department of Defense unveiled a multi-year plan to host
events beyond Coronado. In 2028, they intend to take the military-base street
race to a different U.S. military installation.
The exhibition Clash will be held at Daytona the weekend before the Daytona
500. NASCAR's All-Star race will be held at North Wilkesboro Speedway. And the
season-ending NASCAR championship weekend will return to Homestead-Miami
Speedway for the second straight year.
Homestead hosted NASCAR's championship weekend from 2002-2019 before welcoming
the season finale back in 2026. 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.
Also noteworthy: Dover Motor Speedway returns to a Cup Series points-race date
May 16 after hosting the All-Star race; the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway
will serve as the final regular-season race in the Cup Series, setting the
field for the Chase; and Pocono Raceway will feature all three national series
during its race weekend in June.
