We’re excited to showcase the City of Chicago during the inaugural NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend, July 1-2. Minimizing disruptions and educating local residents, businesses and organizations on what to expect leading into the event is a top priority. We’ll continue to update the information below as more detail is available, so please check back often.
NASCAR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETING
COMMUNITY IMPACT
SIDEWALK & STREET CLOSURES
The City of Chicago and NASCAR officials have worked closely to develop a traffic plan that outlines street closures, parking restrictions, and pedestrian routes in and around Grant Park. As Chicago hosts the first-ever Cup Series street race in NASCAR’s 75-year history, residents and visitors are encouraged to be mindful of the traffic impacts, as well as safety measures in place.
As the course and viewing structures are assembled and disassembled, Chicago residents can expect to see street closures, parking restrictions, reroutes, and traffic impacts. All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the race weekend.
