Chicago's Contemplation of NASCAR's Arrival on its Streets

NASCAR's first-ever Cup Series race on a temporary street course in downtown Chicago could be a one-and-done due to pushback from local officials, a new mayor, and logistical and traffic impacts to Chicago residents. The three-year contract between the city and NASCAR could be at risk of completion. The excitement for the Chicago event isn’t shared by many prominent figures in the city due to the way the deal went down. NASCAR has promised a $100 million economic impact for the city from the event and put longtime executive Julie Giese in charge of the race weekend.
