CHICAGO — With a cluster of high-rises as his backdrop, in the heart of downtown Chicago, Bubba Wallace sat on a stage in a panel among the biggest decision-makers NASCAR and the city of Chicago had to offer.
And he helped sell what his sport could one day be.
NASCAR announced Tuesday that the stock car racing’s first street race was coming to Chicago in July 2023. For the first time, drivers will soon maneuver through the most iconic parts of the third-largest market in the U.S. — making the sport more accessible to city-dwellers than ever before and doing something it’s never done.
