When is the NASCAR race in San Diego?

NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril runs Friday June 19 through Sunday June 21, 2026 at Naval Base Coronado.

Friday is Navy Community Day, not open to the general public. Source: NASCARSanDiego.com.

How do I get to the NASCAR race at Naval Base Coronado?

Access is tightly controlled — the course sits inside an active naval base. The Coronado Bridge is the main route, with heavy security and traffic management expected; NASCAR is publishing official parking and park-and-ride guidance at NASCARSanDiego.com. The smartest way across is the San Diego Bay ferry, which skips the bridge entirely. For race weekend (June 19-21), Elite Green Transportation is waitlist-only — the fleet is committed — and runs the San Diego side only: we drive you from anywhere in metro San Diego to the downtown San Diego ferry landing (Broadway Pier) and drop you there for a flat $50 one-way, any vehicle (BMW i7 or Escalade IQ-L), then meet you back at that same San Diego spot for the return pickup (another $50). You ride the ferry across to Coronado and back yourself — EGT does not cross to the island, drive onto the base, or pick up on the Coronado side. Add your name to the waitlist and an owner calls the moment a seat opens. Call (858) 522-0264.

How much is a private car to the NASCAR San Diego race?

For NASCAR San Diego Weekend, Elite Green Transportation runs a San-Diego-side ferry shuttle: a flat $50 one-way between metro San Diego and the downtown San Diego ferry landing (Broadway Pier), the same price in either the BMW i7 or the Cadillac Escalade IQ-L. Round trip is $50 to drop you at the San Diego ferry landing plus $50 to pick you back up there — no surge, same rate Saturday or Sunday. You ride the ferry across yourself; EGT stays on the San Diego side only. Race weekend is waitlist-only because the fleet is committed — add your name and EGT calls when a seat frees up.

Why a flat round trip beats Uber Black after the show

Uber Black in San Diego is $7.60 + $3.72/mile + $0.62/minute, and the ride home after a show carries the surge and the exit crawl. Modeled honestly, Coronado → Viejas Arena / Cal Coast (SDSU) runs about $71 out and $157 back — $228 round trip for one car with a 20–40 minute wait for it to reach you. EGT’s published round trip for this venue is $120 / $160 / $200 (BMW i7 / Rivian R1S / Escalade IQ-L), the car is staged at the venue, and the number cannot move. None of San Diego’s other black-car operators publish an event price at all. The full comparison, with every source →

“What an absolutely AWESOME company! Elite Green Transportation is an increasingly rare & extraordinarily special breed of family business...from the first moment of contact, owners Sunni, Debbi & Raef provide luxury service with a truly personal touch. We were totally blown away at every turn. Within minutes, a thorough response & super-reasonable flat rate estimate came back. Debbi arrived early in a super-clean Cadillac Escalade IQ-L & from all reports, knew everything about the navigating the venue. EGT even purchased a Rose Bowl preferred parking pass so drop-off & pick-up went as smoothly/quickly as possible.” — Sarah S, Google, 2026-08

“Perfect car service, family owned, friendly personnel! They often upgraded the vehicle. We took several rides. They always arrived a little early. They know the city well. We changed our plans mid-week and caught a baseball game. They know optimal drop-off and pick-up locations. Highly recommend!” — Tracy Brown, Google, 2026-08

TL;DR

NASCAR makes history at Naval Base Coronado June 19–21, 2026 — the first NASCAR race on an active US military base, on a 3.4-mile 16-turn street course past the carriers. Public days: Saturday Jun 20 (O'Reilly Series) and Sunday Jun 21 (Cup Series Anduril 250). Race weekend is waitlist-only and ferry shuttle only — the fleet is committed for June 19-21, so seats fill from a waitlist. EGT drives you to the downtown San Diego ferry landing (Broadway Pier), drops you on the San Diego side for a flat $50 one-way, any vehicle (BMW i7 or Escalade IQ-L), and meets you back at that same San Diego spot for the return pickup (round trip = both San Diego-side legs). You ride the ferry across to Coronado and back yourself — EGT does not cross to the island, drive onto the base, or pick up on the Coronado side. Add your name and an owner calls the moment a seat opens. Call (858) 522-0264.

Getting onto a working Navy base is the whole problem

This is not a stadium with a parking lot. The course runs inside the security perimeter of Naval Air Station North Island — expect controlled access, security screening, and traffic management across Coronado all weekend. The Coronado Bridge is the main chokepoint, and event traffic stacks on top of normal summer beach traffic. NASCAR has indicated off-base park-and-ride arrangements and recommends arriving early for security delays.

That's why we route every race-day rider to the bay ferry. EGT drives you from anywhere in metro San Diego to the downtown San Diego ferry landing (Broadway Pier), drops you on the San Diego side, and meets you back at that same spot for the return pickup. You ride the ferry across San Diego Bay and back yourself — reaching Coronado without ever touching the bridge, the single worst chokepoint on race weekend. EGT operates on the San Diego side only — we do not cross to the island, drive onto the base, or pick up on the Coronado side. It's a flat $50 one-way, any vehicle from our all-electric San Diego fleet (round trip = both San Diego-side legs). See the full ferry route, times, and live availability →

Bring required ID for base access. Because the course is inside a federal military base (Naval Air Station North Island), NASCAR San Diego requires every guest 18 and older to carry a government-issued ID (U.S. citizens) or a passport (foreign nationals) — bring it alongside your race ticket. Per NASCAR San Diego.

The bridge will be the worst chokepoint in the county — and we're waitlist-only

Race weekend stacks event traffic on top of summer beach traffic at the single Coronado Bridge. EGT's ferry route skips it entirely ($50 one-way, any vehicle) — but the fleet is committed, so seats are waitlist-only. Cancellations open up; add your name and we call the moment one does.

· Saturday — United Rentals Driven to Serve 250 day page

· Same Sunday: Belgium vs Iran, World Cup at SoFi Stadium

· The ferry route in detail — skip the bridge

· Flying in for the weekend? San Diego airport transfer (SAN) — flat-rate, flight-tracked

Per-seat math: the flat $50-per-vehicle ferry leg is $10/seat with five in the Escalade IQ-L, $25/seat in the BMW i7 - one way, no surge. It's the same flat-rate, named-driver standard behind why EGT wins as San Diego's luxury car service.
