Dave Hilfman described Fourth of July festivities in San Diego, including a highly popular NASCAR race held on North Island at the naval base. This marked the first time a NASCAR event took place on a military installation.
“It's gonna be spectacular. In fact, you know, uh, there was just the NASCAR, the big NASCAR race was, uh, on North Island, uh, here on Coronado, was like the first one ever done on, on a military installation, but hugely popular.”
“All these great NASCAR fans were in town. And so it was great.”
