NASCAR announced today that Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort will be a Supporting Partner of the NASCAR San Diego Weekend presented by Anduril, June 19-21. The partnership brings together one of Southern California’s premier destination resorts with NASCAR’s high-octane excitement and marquee event celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy. In addition to the race partnership, Pala Casino will also join 23XI Racing as an Official Partner with Tyler Reddick and the No. 45 team.
As a Founding Partner, Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort will play a central role in the fan experience throughout the weekend, supporting marquee events, hospitality activations, and community-focused initiatives that highlight San Diego’s unique culture and energy. It will also be the Official Spa Golf Resort of the race weekend, with signage throughout Turns 11-12 of the 3.4-mile circuit.
“Pala Casino Spa Golf Resort is an exceptional partner whose commitment to excellence, hospitality, and the military resonates perfectly with what we’re building in San Diego,” said Amy Lupo, President of NASCAR San Diego. “As a Founding Partner, Pala’s support helps elevate the NASCAR San Diego Weekend into a must-attend destination event for fans, teams, and the entire region.”
Pala Casino will also have a presence on the track as NASCAR heads to California through a partnership with 23XI Racing. The partnership will feature Pala Casino’s branding and color scheme on Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota Camry XSE for the Cup Series race in San Diego and the following weekend’s race at Sonoma, highlighting Pala Casino’s California roots. To build excitement ahead of the street race, 23XI plans to host events in San Diego, starting with a Daytona 500 watch party on Feb. 15 at Nicky Rottens, located near Naval Base Coronado, where the street race will take place. Pala Casino will help support the watch party and other community events to be planned in the lead-up to the race.

“I always look forward to the challenges presented at a road or street course, so I can’t wait for the San Diego race,” said Tyler Reddick, driver of the No. 45 Toyota Camry XSE. “I’m proud to be partnering with Pala Casino for what should be two exciting race in San Diego and Sonoma races and appreciate their support for me, 23XI and NASCAR as a whole.”
