CHICAGO POST RACE – NASCAR On the Clock, The Downpour Returns, No Saucy Nuggs

The NASCAR Cup Series takes over the streets of Chicago in a second running if the Grant Park 165. Shane Van Gisbergen looks to defend his incredible 2023 victory, but the competition is fierce in the 40 car field. 2021 Cup champion Kyle Larson leads the field off with fast Toyota drivers like Ty Gibbs, Tyler Reddick, Christopher Bell also fighting for supremacy. Add to all of that, Mother Nature may rear her ugly head one more time.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind just using time for road courses in the future. Just use like 135 mins (2hrs 15 mins) for all of them. Don’t even worry about distance for those tracks anymore, just time.

Late 80s to mid 90s kyle was legit and had some really good races. He finished top ten in points several times, and i think he even won the Coca-Cola 600 one year, but man the last 5 to 10 years of his career were pretty awful.

Imagine how exciting the race would have been if not for the rain or 14 car today

I attended both days, but left early on Sunday during the race delay, cause I knew it wasn’t going to go the distance. I live in chicago and been a fan of nascar for 20+ years. I hope they bring it back in 2025, cause nascar put alot of effort into the track preparations and accommodating the city. The rain definitely changed the Sunday race unfortunately, but I’m more pissed about the late start time. I don’t understand why start the xfinity race @ 2:30 and it was 50laps, but start the cup race @ 3:30 with 75laps

Stage Cautions need Eliminated entirely at every track.

Yes!! Thought it was a great race. Maybe consider the timing of the event. Start no later than 1 EST.

Run the Chicago race on Lower Wacker Drive and rain won’t be an issue…

Without the stage cautions, need no dose to watch

I was surprised that within 10 laps cars were going a lap down.

If it was dry it would be cool. Xfinity race was good

Thanks to former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for bringing the Chicago street race to the NASCAR fans!
Without her, all this doesn’t happen…btw
