The 18th race this season is something new! The Grant Park 220 will be held in downtown Chicago on SUNDAY, July 2nd.
Please make your picks before the start of the race.
This is the first street race in NASCAR. Envisioned in 2021, the powers that be set this year as the kick off.
What we will see is a road course -- or should I say --- street course of 2.2 miles in length and will run 100 laps for a race distance of 220 miles.
The race will go from Buckingham Fountain to Grant Avenue and then on to Michigan Avenue. The set up is like a bowtie askew. Or maybe like a double postage stamp in BINGO.
Either way, it's new. It's exciting. It should be fun.
No history to report except this race will conclude the first half of the season. That was fast.
OK! My street outlaws are
D Hamlin <~~~ Ignore the traffic lights and stop signs and he will be good to go....
K Larson <~~~ That Shell station doesn't have the gas you need....try SUNOCO...
M Truex JR!!! <~~~~ Like a drag race on Main Street....only longer...
C Elliott <~~~~ Sweet Home Chicago on the FM station and it will be sweet home Chicago...
W Bryon <~~~~ You won't get the Blues Brother if you race well....
My spare will be B Kezelowski....
