"Given the City of Chicago has us by the balls and we can't piss them off if we ever want to do this again, we have no choice but to Calvinball the race."

I mean, it makes sense. That is the nature of street circuits.

Yep, temporary street circuits and NASCAR's usual "we will finish at least half this race plus one lap no matter how many days/weeks/months it takes..." approach just aren't compatible.

Doesn't look very promising for the Cup race either, since the rain doesn't seem likely to ease off until after 8PM or so. Maybe it'll be a couple lap behind the pace car and call it official, a la F1 at Spa?

Seems like they’ll get this race in, even if it doesn’t start for a couple hours. Also I like this SVG guy, seems like a good dude

There's zero chance this won't be a poo poo show.

By some miracle, we're going racin', boys and girls and those of other identities!

As one last pre-race :lol:, Dale Jr's headset doesn't work.

Ironically, though, Chicagoland would put on a good show with the Nextgen.

Also drat this poo poo's crazy how dynamic a race can be without predefined caution periods... huh strange. Anyway the fast cars are just in the top 10 now so the ending might be loving wild.

This is the first NASCAR race I've ever watched, why did this svg guy have to back off all of a sudden? The timing of the other crash?

Yea when the caution comes out cars can't pass anymore, and the caution came out juuuuust as he was starting his move. Terrible timing.
