CHICAGO — The NASCAR Cup Series will visit Chicago next year — and it’ll make history when it does.
NASCAR announced Tuesday that it will break into the third-largest media market in the U.S. when it hosts a first-of-its-kind street course race on July 2, 2023, in downtown Chicago.
This means NASCAR’s top drivers will be maneuvering the streets of one of the biggest cities in the U.S. — a prospect imagined and piloted in the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series last summer but never actualized until now.
