if F1 wants it then let them have it

….and if the city is ok with it that tells you all you need to know

In reply to @karlcalvert812. @@karlcalvert812 I'd love it if that did happen. I can get to the street course in about an hour by train and I'm 30 minutes from Chicagoland Speedway. That would be a great week. Space on the NASCAR schedule is just too scarce for 2 races in one area. I think it would just split the crowd.

In reply to @karlcalvert812. @@Engrphotog21 You are probably right but it's a shame that people are so pig-headed and devisive. It be cool to have double-headers like that, we could shave two-three weeks off the season and add one-two more off weeks. Think about a Milwaukee Mile and Road America DH, Knoxville and Iowa DH, Chicagoland and Street Race DH, Martinsville and North Wilkesboro, Nashville Fairgrounds and the Superspeedway, IRP and the Brickyard. Tis a shame

In reply to @karlcalvert812. I dont think this event AND an event at Chicagoland Speedway coexist in the same season schedule for any reason. For race fans in Chicago, it's either this or Chicagoland Speedway. We're just not getting 2 events. The street race has to move somewhere else before they're back at Chicagoland Speedway

I definitely agree that this year’s Chicago street race is more important than last year’s simply because of the fact that it will show if the event is sustainable long term. I think the outreach that NASCAR has done with the local community has helped change people’s views on the event & is the complete opposite of how F1 has approached their street race in Vegas where there has been zero outreach with locals. Instead most people in Vegas absolutely hate F1 with a passion mainly because F1 has created an absolute traffic nightmare with all of the construction that is being done for the race & has negatively affected people’s ability (especially those who work on the Strip) to get to work on time and make a living. This is in addition to the astronomical ticket prices which will prevent many locals from attending. Because of all this, it is very possible that the Chicago street race for NASCAR will outlast the Vegas F1 race as I see F1 cutting their losses after this year & giving the Vegas date to one of two destinations in Southeast Asia, Thailand (at the same track MotoGP races on) or a return to the Sepang circuit in Malaysia next year.
