Following rain delays that cut the race short by 25 laps, Shane Van Gisbergen won the Grant Park 220 to wrap up NASCAR’s first weekend in Chicago. The race came down to the final laps as the drivers tried to handle the challenges of a narrow and wet track.
Van Gisbergen’s victory came after the rainiest July 2 on record poured down on the city throughout the morning and afternoon. Once the rain finally let up close to 5 p.m., crews worked to get the race off around 5:37 p.m.
