Jimmie Johnson Confirms 2026 San Diego Cup Start at Naval Base Coronado

The seven-time champion is targeting a hometown start that coincides with NASCAR's first event on an active Navy base.

Overview

  • Johnson will drive Legacy Motor Club's No. 84 Toyota Camry XSE with Carvana sponsorship.
  • The San Diego weekend runs June 19–21, 2026 on a 3.4-mile, 16-turn course at Naval Base Coronado.
  • He announced his plan during Brandweek in Atlanta and framed it as a personal full-circle moment tied to his El Cajon roots and family military ties.
  • Johnson has expressed interest in also entering the Truck and Xfinity races, which remains unconfirmed and dependent on qualifying or any exemptions.
  • Event details such as entry guarantees and a special Carvana paint scheme will be finalized later, as NASCAR reports strong early demand for tickets.
