NASCAR has announced the name of its brand new San Diego track this week, ahead of the summer's first ever race there.

The Coronado naval base in southern California will host the Anduril 250 this summer on Father's Day (June 21), making it the first ever race on an active US military base.

The event has been timed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy this summer, in much the same way that IndyCar will be racing the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington DC to mark the United States Semiquincentennial this summer.

The 3.4-mile track will now officially be named the Qualcomm Circuit, with the San Diego-based tech company picking up the naming rights for the history-making circuit this week.

FOX's Bob Pockrass noted another change to the expected course on Monday, noting: "NASCAR has added small kink at Turn 12 and a chicane prior to Turn 16 to the course map"

Amy Lupo, President of NASCAR San Diego, said of the track's new name: “Qualcomm is synonymous with innovation, and there could not be a more fitting partner to put its name on this groundbreaking circuit.

“The Qualcomm Circuit represents the future of motorsports — built with precision, purpose and performance in mind – all while paying tribute to the extraordinary history of Naval Base Coronado and celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy. We are proud to partner with a San Diego-born global technology leader as we make history together on this remarkable stage.”

Meanwhile Don McGuire, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Qualcomm Incorporated, added: "Qualcomm Circuit represents the perfect intersection of breakthrough innovation, high-performance competition, and deep community pride.

"For more than 40 years, San Diego has been home to Qualcomm's pioneering spirit, and this partnership honors that legacy while celebrating the extraordinary men and women of the U.S. Navy.

"Just as our AI-powered technologies are driving the future of mobility and connectivity, the Qualcomm Circuit will showcase the pinnacle of racing performance on one of the most unique and innovative tracks in NASCAR history. We're honored to be part of this groundbreaking venue and bring this historic moment to our hometown."
