NASCAR to race at San Diego Temporary track

ASCAR has never competed at an active military base before, but that is just scratching the surface when considering what makes the Anduril 250 and its support races so unique, even among other ambitious street course events in the sport's recent past.

Teams are requesting more spotters than we've ever seen before, and there are going to be at least three dozen corner workers due to so many intricate sections and blind-spots around the track.

“It’s very much going to be a survival race," said Brad Keselowski after touring the layout. "Really challenging for the drivers."

The track is extremely rough in several sections with bumps that are going to keep these cars right on the edge of disaster, and could even lead to flat tires and rear diffuser damage if the drivers aren't careful. They will have to cross railroad tracks during the lap and at one point, will be just feet away from San Diego Bay in another.

And depending on what corner you're looking at, it's not unreasonable to think that it's two completely different circuits with how much it varies throughout the lap. While some sections are incredibly wide, other parts barely allow two cars to move through side-by-side.  It's also far faster than a traditional street course, with lots of flowing, sweeping S-corners.
