Happy weekend everyone, it’s time for another edition of O’Reilly Stats Friday. This weekend the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series travels to San Diego, California for the United Rentals Driven to Serve 250 at the Coronado Street Course, also known as the Qualcomm Circuit.
This is the first year that NASCAR has done this race, and it is a brand-new track that is being built for this event. The circuit is planned to be 3.4 miles long, featuring 19 turns. Since this is the first event here, the historic stats are limited, but we can still look at how things will shape up this weekend in San Diego.
Saturday’s race will be 60 laps long (for a total of 204 miles), with stage breaks occurring at 15 – 30 – 60. Pit road speed is 45 mph, and the caution vehicle runs at 40 mph. The fuel window is unknown.
