The soundtrack to the inaugural NASCAR Chicago Street Race, which is set to turn Grant Park into a pop-up racecourse during July Fourth weekend, will include more than screeching tires and roaring engines.
In addition to 200-mph race cars, the two-day event will also feature full-length concerts ranging from country to electronic dance, headlined by Miranda Lambert, The Chainsmokers and The Black Crowes, NASCAR announced Wednesday.
NASCAR anticipates 100,000 attendees will partake in a Lollapalooza-like festival designed to “reimagine the NASCAR experience in the heart of downtown Chicago,” Julie Giese, president of the Chicago Street Race, said in a news release.
