Let's hope never again.

NASCAR will not return to the city of Chicago next year. The announcement was made Friday afternoon:

“Thank you for all that you have done to make the NASCAR Chicago Street Race one of the most iconic events in global sports.

Following the success of the first three years, the Chicago Street Race will hit pause in 2026 to afford us the time necessary to work collaboratively with the City of Chicago to explore a new potential date and to develop a plan that further optimizes operational efficiencies, with a goal to return to the streets of Chicago in 2027.

Together, we have built and grown an expanded community of fans that consists of longtime NASCAR enthusiasts and first-time racegoers from around the globe, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

Thank you for your continued support — and we look forward to seeing you at the races.”

Recent rumors have NASCAR moving back to Chicagoland Speedway, and taking a street course race to San Diego next year.

It's The LITTLE Things in Life That Count.

Go Jersey Boy, The Best Kyle & the Dinger.

I read on Jayski that Chicago wanted another race, but not on the 4th weekend, which is one of the hottest spots to go to on the 4th, which made it hard on the locals when a lot of the areas were cut off because of it. They said they would love it if they could get a later date.

It also said that the were looking open chicagoland raceway again as it is a France owned track.

I for one would never go there is this day and time. Was stationed there in the 60;s and it was a great town.

I’m glad. But they are already talking about going back in 2027. ☹️
At least we will have one year of no Chicago wreck fest.
