Coronado locals have a chance to hit the racetrack early: There are 1,000 tickets exclusively available to Coronado residents for the first NASCAR race of the three-day race weekend on June 19-21.

And registration is now open.

The tickets will be distributed through a random lottery process, but whether you own or rent on the island, residents have until April 10 to try to win their luck.

Coronadans can go to CivicRec, create an account and sign up for the NASCAR community day program. Each household is only allowed one entry and can request two or four tickets.

The city’s website has a step-by-step registration guide.

The 1,000 chosen will have to verify their residency through a current property tax bill or a lease agreement and will receive their tickets through Ticketmaster sometime around mid-May.

Active-duty military residents will be able to get tickets through a separate distribution process managed by the Navy.

Service members stationed in Coronado will receive ticket access through a separate distribution process managed by the Navy.
