NASCAR partners with Anduril for San Diego weekend
NASCAR announced Thursday that defense products company Anduril will be the presenting sponsor of the inaugural weekend in San Diego as well as the entitlement sponsor of the Cup Series race.
It is a multiyear agreement that also sees Anduril become the Official Defense Partner of NASCAR. The NASCAR Cup Series race will be called the Anduril 250 Race the Base Cup Series street race during NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril.
“NASCAR has long been woven into the fabric of Americana – it’s a sport that connects with fans across generations and reflects the energy and determination that define us,” said Craig Stimmel, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at NASCAR. “Anduril is an American company that’s pushing boundaries in defense technology, and they bring that same drive and forward-thinking mindset. We’re excited to welcome them as the title partner of NASCAR San Diego Weekend and as NASCAR’s Official Defense Partner. It’s a great match – two high-performance teams coming together with a shared vision for the future, both on and off the track.”
Anduril builds advanced defense technology products that are used by the U.S. Department of Defense and allied militaries around the world. Those systems include autonomous aircraft, underwater vehicles, AI-powered sensor platforms, and electronic warfare tools.
All three NASCAR national series will compete in San Diego. Naval Base Coronado will welcome NASCAR during the June 19-21 weekend. It will be the second street course race in Cup Series history.
“NASCAR is one of America’s most iconic platforms with a huge fan base among U.S. service members, veterans and their families," said Jeff Miller, Vice President of Marketing at Anduril. “Partnering with NASCAR for the Race on the Base is a natural fit reflecting our shared values of technical innovation, speed, and support of our military. We’re proud to be part of an event that celebrates the Navy’s 250th anniversary and honors everyone who serves.”
