The first-ever NASCAR street race is coming to downtown Chicago the first weekend of July. CBS 2's mattzahnsports sat down with the longtime track executive NASCAR who will run all aspects of this brand-new event.
CBS 2's Matt Zahn sat down with the longtime track executive NASCAR tabbed to run all aspects of this brand-new event and the logistical challenges they face.
"We're going to be here 365 days a year. That was really important to us. Being a member of the community is incredibly important, and giving back to the communities in which we race. So we have about a half-dozen employees right now, we'll grow to just over a dozen," she said. Organizers have a pretty good idea of what the track will look like. Drivers got a bit of a test run, running a virtual race through downtown Chicago in 2021.
Of course, showcasing those iconic landmarks will come with some disruption, with the NASCAR event taking over most of Grant Park for two weeks. Giese said they are trying to minimize the disruption as much as possible.
