The NASCAR Cup Series 'America's Navy 250' at Naval Base Coronado is making motorsports history Sunday morning — the first NASCAR points race ever held on an active U.S. military installation. The race uses a three-mile street course threading through the base's tarmac and apron areas past aircraft carriers and military aircraft. Tickets ranged from $135 for general admission to more than $4,200 for premium options. The event, timed to the Navy's 250th anniversary, follows a Truck Series race Thursday and an Xfinity Series race Saturday. The Haas Factory Team is running a tribute No. 41 car honoring President George H.W. Bush, a former Navy pilot.
At Globe Life Field in Arlington, the Padres and Rangers meet at 11:35 a.m. Pacific for the rubber game of their series following a split doubleheader Saturday. Texas took Game 1 by 9-7 behind Jacob deGrom, who dominated on his 38th birthday. San Diego responded in Game 2 with a 6-4 win in 10 innings, powered by Manny Machado's 13th home run of the season — a three-run blast in the 10th — and a season-high five RBIs. Mason Miller, returning from the bereavement list, closed it out for his 20th save. San Diego enters Sunday at 39-36, nine games behind the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. Lucas Giolito (2-2, 4.56 ERA) starts for the Padres against Nathan Eovaldi.
Father's Day Sunday also falls on Juneteenth weekend, and San Diego's calendar reflects it. The 4th Annual Harriet Tubman Freedom Bird Walk runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the WorldBeat Cultural Center, free admission. The 619 Day Juneteenth Celebration at Liberty Station begins at noon with performances and DJs. The ONYX by Kinfolk Juneteenth event runs 4 to 7 p.m. at Waterfront Park. At the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, Pancho Barraza and Banda Machos headline the Toyota Concert Stage at 7:30 p.m., with the B-Side Players on the free Paddock Stage at 9, and the Craft Brew Celebration runs through 5 p.m. with fair admission.
