What’s Happening?

NASCAR President Steve O’Donnell recently expressed the sport’s interest in racing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, prior to this weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway.

  • The rumor mill for future NASCAR race locations continues to spin out of control. Now, NASCAR President Steve O’Donnell points to the City of Brotherly Love as a potential target for a future NASCAR race.  
  • In an interview with Mason Smith of the Pocono Record, O’Donnell claimed that the spot has not only thought about racing in Philadelphia but has looked into it. “Pocono has delivered for us in terms of fans, but when you look at opportunities, one of the places we looked was Franklin Field,” O’Donnell said.
  • This is interesting, as some expect this to be a similar race to that of the Chicago Street Circuit rather than a stadium race. Rather than that, Franklin Field is the home of the Ivy League’s Penn Quakers; built in 1922, the stadium is the nation’s oldest active college football stadium.
  • The field is similar to the LA Coliseum and Bowman Gray Stadium, both of which have recently hosted NASCAR’s preseason Clash. However, O’Donnell did not mention when or if this race will happen, saying they are “pretty early” in exploration.
  • This is the latest story in a saga of future schedule news that has included rumors of a potential return to Chicagoland and the addition of a new street race in San Diego next season. All news and rumors on the 2026 NASCAR schedule can be found via the story linked above.
