Do you want to see the Chicago Street Race come back for a third year in 2025?
Yes because it made a lot of money
For sure. I enjoyed it there minus something’s.
Yes as long they start it pretty early we be good
I didn’t at first but came around to it. It’s a good opportunity to get new fans. It’s only 1 day of the year.
I’m so glad Alex Bowman got the win
And he took down another track in his wake
Same.
I was there and I got a hat signed by Jeff Gordon. And I haven’t gone to a cup race since 2019 Chicago land.
I truly enjoyed the race.
I don’t think the 109 people who got shot and the 19 who were murdered in Chicago over the weekend enjoyed the race at all .
I don’t get why they can’t just move the date
Because they want it on Fourth of July no matter what.
NASCAR making the teams choose whether to use slicks or wets was a great decision
They should have start the race early ngl.
Well, NBC won’t have to worry about Indycar next year.
Agreed. That was the reason they started so late. It was frustrating when you could literally see the rain on the aerial shots in the pre race.
@@Engrphotog21It was because the IndyCar race was on NBC before the Cup race was nothing they can really do either.
Agreed
Funniest part is when the mayor of Chicago said that nascar is bringing this country together. Clearly he hasn’t been on social media. Jokes aside I really like street course racing, but two years in a row of rain and not going to the scheduled distance has me worried. At least the race needs to moved back an hour or two.
They should move the race to a different time of the year.
The people who disagree are a shrinking but still quite loud minority.
That was after Nascar agreed to pay $2 million more!
That moment when the only SHR car not plowing in everything/everyone was NOAH GRAGSON.
@@noahcoleman5556 How Ironic
They need to stop stages at road courses
They tried that last year and everyone complained because there were no cautions and no wrecks.
Stop em in general and other gimmicks
@@zachwalentinydon’t listen to those idiots, those people watch NASCAR for crashes and other silly stuff and have a crappy attention span. Those aren’t race fans
There shouldn’t be stages in NASCAR period
They already tried and Nascar said they had the bring the cautions back because the racing was too boring
The Wendy’s car is cursed at the Chicago Street Race
i agree get rid of it there no rain
7:16 stage breaks should go back to just another green lap. No caution. Remember they did that before. I didn’t mind that.
Unfortunately certain people complained about the lack of stage breaks. I have no idea why, road courses are far better without them.
So that explains why road courses had cautions again this year
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. yeah, they brought them back at the Roval last year
@@D2RCR NBC & FOX complained. Nobody else.
shout out to my boy, Joey Hand.
I can tough it out with a 10am west coast start. In fact I’d prefer that for the vast majority of races.
Same I live in west coast and I’m absolutely down for early races I like them way better
The Xfinity race was an absolute clinic for what NASCAR racing should be like…
Nascar has to find a way to limit caution laps at road courses. Like they should be able to call an audible to go green if the track is clean and clear. And have another choose zone so they don’t have to waste an another lap under caution because they have to choose.
Anything to break up the monotony of the short, flat east coast tracks or the mile and a half, oval fuel mileage tracks.
Fwiw, Joey Hand almost winning the race was pretty sick
I like that they are dumping cookie cutters. Would like them to try an even more technical street course. Personally i think they should race at the Nashville street circuit indycar uses
Indycar does not run the street course anymore. Check your facts.
I enjoyed watching it but the drivers struggled
Yeah wasn’t a great look for nascar
