Mixed feelings among Chicagoans for NASAR

While Chicago residents brace themselves for the highly anticipated NASCAR Chicago Street Race, authorities have announced significant road closures and traffic disruptions throughout the city. This has resulted in the community’s reaction to NASCAR taking over their streets to be diverse. Although many fans are thrilled to see their favorite drivers racing along their all too familiar roads, some have accused NASCAR of trying to attract a crowd uninterested in the sport. Some have even pointed out that Chicagoland Speedway, which hosted Cup Series races for nearly two decades, continues to sit dormant.

The Chicago Street Race president Julie Giese has assured the locals that Chicagoans should embrace the change and prepare for road closures and traffic disruptions in the downtown area. Despite these restrictions, authorities have made considerable efforts to minimize inconveniences and ensure a safe event. Also, with the Global coverage and tourism the Cup Series brings to the city, the officials and locals have agreed that this is a turning point.
