Do you want to see the Chicago Street Race come back for a third year in 2025?

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 .

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.

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.

@x23TRU July 8, 2024 at 9:01 pm

They should move the race to a different time of the year.

7:16 stage breaks should go back to just another green lap. No caution. Remember they did that before. I didn’t mind that.

Reply
@D2RCR July 8, 2024 at 10:09 pm

Unfortunately certain people complained about the lack of stage breaks. I have no idea why, road courses are far better without them.

I can tough it out with a 10am west coast start. In fact I’d prefer that for the vast majority of races.

@rmg_2771 July 9, 2024 at 12:41 am

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.

@randallfabian6640 July 9, 2024 at 1:47 am

Anything to break up the monotony of the short, flat east coast tracks or the mile and a half, oval fuel mileage tracks.

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

@robertjennings6421 July 9, 2024 at 10:29 am

Indycar does not run the street course anymore. Check your facts.
