CHICAGO — NASCAR arrived in Chicago this past week — and with it, opinions on the historic street race.
Some were excited about it, others were skeptical. In the days leading up to the races around Grant Park, a common refrain was “Chicago isn’t a NASCAR crowd.” So I set out to see just how true that was.
From Wednesday through the weekend, anticipation and excitement for the races climbed until it reached its full throttle with the culmination of the final race Sunday night.
