NASCAR Chicago Street Race and Festival 4th of July Weekend
On July 1-2, 2023, Chicago will host the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series street race in NASCAR’s 75-year history.
This historic event will transform certain portions of the streets in and around Grant Park into a 12-turn, 2.2-mile course for a weekend of NASCAR racing.
Chicagoans and visitors will have the opportunity to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime racing experience against the backdrop of Chicago’s majestic skyline and beautiful Lake Michigan.
The NASCAR Chicago Street Race will take place on sections of streets that surround and are adjacent to Grant Park, specifically Columbus Drive, Jackson Blvd., Michigan Ave., Roosevelt Road, Balbo Drive, and DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
The course will be completely secured by a specialized, protective barrier system.
In addition two days of racing, NASCAR festival will take over Grant Park for non-stop entertainment. Enjoy full sets from top music artists, driver autographs and Q&A sessions, interactive displays, and so much more.
