Motor Racing Network (MRN) will provide live coverage of the inaugural NASCAR San Diego Race Weekend presented by Anduril, marking the first time NASCAR's three national touring series will compete on an active military base.

The event will take place at Naval Base Coronado's Naval Air Station North Island, where competitors will race on a newly created 3.4-mile, 16-turn circuit overlooking San Diego Bay. The race weekend is part of the U.S. Navy's celebration of 250 years of service defending freedom and protecting prosperity.

"Southern California has a legacy of speed and innovation with roots to the early days of stock car racing that continues to shape our sport today," said MRN President Chris Schwartz. "Promoting events at iconic venues like Ascot Park and Riverside as well as Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and most recently the Clash at the LA Coliseum, fans in this region have experienced NASCAR in wildly different settings and Naval Air Station North Island is no exception."

Schwartz also welcomed Audacy's KSON as a new MRN affiliate for the event. "Everyone at the network is excited to welcome KSON to our family as we deliver the experience to race fans in San Diego and around the world," he said.

KSON will serve as the San Diego radio home for the historic race broadcasts. "For the first time ever, a NASCAR race is being held on an active military base," said Scott Roddy, Regional Vice President, Audacy Country West Coast. "KSON is proud to be the San Diego home of this historic race broadcast."

MRN's coverage begins Friday with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Navy 250 Forged by the Sea at 6:30pm ET. Action continues Saturday with the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series' United Rentals Driven to Serve 250 at 4:30pm ET, before concluding Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series' Anduril 250 Race the Base at 3pm ET.
