Watching the same 4 cars hit the barriers was comedy.

Noah Gragson at least didn’t repeat what he did last year.

[@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!,

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

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

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?

It happens a lot in Sports Car racing like GT series.

[@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

[@ChicagoStreetCourseFan]

They Have Wet Experience They Just Lose Their Heads

[@George2647g]

Thems fightin words… yanks will only take so much beating before they go back to ovals only..

They should do this race in the streets of Los Angeles. No rain this time of year.

Kudos for nascar taking on Chicago after the failure of Chicagoland speedway. Problem I see is a lot of competitive cars simply got taken out in bad wrecks through no fault of their own. Way too many.

[@thewheatleypodcast]

I wish all these drivers knew how to actually drive and didn’t just wreck everyone or themselves. It really sucks watching these races and seeing the same guys crash each other and themselves week after week and then with all those cautions add another stage caution to it. It really kills the flow of these races. NASCAR should consider taking away stage cautions and/or reduce the number of cars on track.

[@jasondaniel1586]

I'm all in favor of eliminating stage cautions at every track.
