NASCAR VP Ben Kennedy: 'We seized an incredible opportunity to add an unprecedented element to our schedule.'
The Cup event will be preceded by an IMSA race the day before, Saturday, July 1.If ever there was a theme song that embodied Tuesday’s major NASCAR announcement, it would be The Doobie Brothers’ “Takin’ It To The Streets.”
Essentially borrowing a page from IndyCar’s long-time success on temporary street courses such as Long Beach and as recently as this past Sunday in Toronto, the NASCAR race will be held on a layout just to the east of downtown Chicago. Bubba Wallace, driver of the No. 23 XI Toyota for co-owners Denny Hamlin and legendary former Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan, was one of several drivers on hand for the announcement. Jordan, however, was surprisingly not part of the announcement.
