NASCAR official Extended Highlights: 2024 Chicago Street Race

[@Bharlos]

I dont know how NASCAR has gotten so lucky with the rain here. Hope they keep this race going, it could be huge

[@Jetsjourneys61]

This race sucks

[@Joetato-gotta-go]

Then rain made it entertaining. Otherwise a snooze fest

[@FinnKeehan]

Yea I guess so. I feel so bad for Kyle Larson and Shane Van Gisbergen

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Absolutely the weather just needs to cooperate.

[@thedirtybubble9613]

@@Joetato-gotta-go No, rain is terrible for racing. It's like racing on grease. Sure, it's great that we have tires for weather racing but it's not ideal for racing. Compare the Xfinity race (when it was dry) to the Cup race and it's a no brainer.

[@OatmealCreamPie]

As an older NASCAR fan and newer F1 fan, _Steve, keep this track._ This is entertainment, *and* is hella good for both driving skill and adaptation to various conditions under a street course. Legit, the most interesting race on the calendar.

[@Drew-mm7ic]

Agree I think it’s good to show the skill of these drivers on more than just ovals. Yes ovals are challenging but there is something special bout seeing a Cup car on streets and roads

[@hansa3580]

I never imagined that the downtown streets of my hometown would be the site of NASCAR, and I think it's awesome! Seeing the streets signs, Michigan Ave., the Chicago skyline, the loyal fans sitting with their clear rain ponchos on, even the unintentional spills against the tire impact safety barriers, reminiscent of an old "Speed Racer" episode, driving in Chicago, period, would be a perfect training ground for professional racers anywhere, really enjoyed the broadcast!,

[@George2647g]

They tried these street tracks before - they never work cuz foreigners keep coming here and beating the locals and making them look slow.. i give it 10 years and they’ll be cancelled again

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Without a doubt, Nascar needs to stay in Chicago. But I would do one thing and that's reconfigure the course for longer straighaways like down LSD to Roosevelt and then up Michigan Ave. Seeing cars go upwards of 160+ mph at Chicago would be insane.

[@thedirtybubble9613]

@@hansa3580 Chicago has a history with fast cars too. During the prohibition era, they used muscle cars (at the time) to smuggle spirits and moonshine into the city from Kentucky and Missouri.

With no rain this could be one of the best tracks on the schedule. We saw it with the XFinity race. Just give us a few extra years on that contract Chicago

[@youngdumbass]

Or change it maybe to a different date?

Even with rain is still fun! This race was so unpredictable, everyone had eyes on SVG but he retired early due to an incident, and it looked like Bell had it but do to time is was Bowman with the win.

​@@shanegamroth3491same thing I was thinking. I believe svg could have gone back to back in he didn't get taken out 😡

[@liberty8990]

SVG is head and shoulders better than 90% of these guys on road courses.

[@zachmarks9683]

We'll just pretend that Larson didn't do the exact same thing later in the race, sure thing. The truth is that this course is brutal in the rain and it's bound to happen, even to the best of them. Sucks for SVG but guess he can't win them all, right?

[@stevecapil6577]

Its very progressive of NASCAR to let a visually impaired driver like Chase Briscoe compete

[@NowinLao]

So many people have called for SVG to get more experience on ovals in Xfinity before transitioning to Cup.. Yet he's still able to pass guys and consistently finish in the top 15 on ovals without crashing and taking people out.. Unlike these so called best drivers in the world who can't keep their car underneath them when the roads wet. Now ya'll gonna cry.. 'they have no experience in the wet" Well now you know what SVG is up against and the stella job he's doing with no experience on ovals, but he's doing a much better job than these top tier cup guys by not crashing, not taking others out and finishing races.

[@aygeeninty771]

Agree. On the ovals he has been very sensible and respected his equipment and others. Hopefully part of that equals speed up his sleeve for the playoffs
