Team Penske star Ryan Blaney has revealed he'd love to see NASCAR return to San Diego after this weekend's event at the Naval Base Coronado.

All three national NASCAR series were in action at the active U.S. Navy base over the weekend, with the Cup, O'Reilly and Truck Series races having been won by Corey Heim, Austin Hill and Layne Riggs.

The race weekend took place on the newly designed road course as part of NASCAR's celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the United States and the Navy, and at present, there are no confirmed plans to return in 2027.

However, NASCAR COO Ben Kennedy said over the weekend that the sport would love to return in the future, and Blaney agrees.

Ryan Blaney wants San Diego NASCAR return

Assessing the race and his ninth-place finish, Blaney said post-race: "There were a bunch of different strategies going on and it’s kind of hard to pick which one is gonna be the right one, but, overall, we did a really good job today of staying clean and getting really good stage points.

"We stayed in the race and ended up with a decent finish. It was a fun day for sure. I thought our Ford Mustang was fairly quick and it was fun to work through it all day."

"It was a fantastic event," Blaney continued. "I had a blast all weekend.

"The Navy was great to us. The base was great to us, and personally I would love to come back. It’s a cool event.”

Kyle Larson: San Diego had 'unreal atmosphere'

Blaney was not the only driver to enjoy his weekend at the event. Reigning Cup Series champion Kyle Larson also hailed the weekend's action following his third-place finish on Sunday, with particular praise for the atmosphere at the Naval Base Coronado.

"Overall, it was just a lot of fun this weekend. It was an unreal atmosphere, probably one of the coolest atmospheres I’ve been a part of in a long time," Larson said post-race.

"Kudos to NASCAR, the Naval Base Coronado and all the men and women who serve."
