NASCAR has previously held races in the Southern California area for most of its existence, having races at various tracks throughout the 1950s onward, with the addition of Auto Club Speedway to the schedule in 1997 as a superspeedway. The race was discontinued in 2009.

Rumors began that NASCAR was looking to hold a street race in the Southern California area as this area was vacant from the schedule. [1] It was officially announced on July 23, 2025, that NASCAR would host a first of its kind street race on the Naval Base Coronado, with the lower tier Xfinity Series and the Truck Series following suit.
