That's a great visual with the L going by behind them. I wish there'd been more overhead shots with the fountain in them with cars going around

I keep wanting to say this was a bad race but it might be the best race of the year. Coolest winner of the year for sure. If the weather wasn’t poo poo and they started at a normal time, 100 laps would have been pretty cool. I’d be down with this track again next year.

The race owned balls despite being limited in passing, the traffic jam, and the 100 year storm drowning the weekend out. Do it again NASCAR.

Like a couple others have said here just a complete 180 for nascar this weekend. From a boring {in my opinion} xfinity and the weather shutting down all the hype to the greatest race of the year. I'm sure it would be very different in the dry and the full 100 tho.

Hello I am the aforementioned Banzai from discord, Chicago resident, and racing shitposter. I think NASCAR throwing the rulebook out the window for the Xfinity finish sucked. Teams pitted at the caution thinking they would have time to move because the race was not official. NASCAR absolutely did the right thing by not trying to run on Monday. Either nuke the results like it never happened or update the book for a contingency situation like this. Similarly, NASCAR hosed some of the Cup leaders by deciding to shorten the race in the middle of the pit cycle. They absolutely shortened to the right distance, but doing it in the middle of the cycle was not at all fair. I hate how long the cautions were, but they should’ve kept the pits closed another lap, announced the revised distance, and let teams figure it out with full information. That said, the racing was fun, the NBC camera shots were inspired, and even if the city is getting a raw deal this is worth doing again.

I don’t see how the city is getting a raw deal? The setting was cool, the lead up anticipation was questionable, the end result was excellent to watch. I mean this thread probably had more posts today for this race than any other race in a very long time.

The outgoing lame duck mayor gave quite a sweetheart deal relatively speaking. Cheap permit fees, long periods of public park and street closures. This gets into Chicago politics but the number of private events tying up public space is grating on locals. https://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/nascar-permit-agreement-reveals-new-details-about-race-coming-to-chicago/2910896/ quote:

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how an event that looked like it was going to have all the grace of someone stuffing their keys down their garbage disposal swung into something entertaining in three hours flat. Not only that, it kept getting better. At one point, SVG was told he had 9.6 seconds on the next car, only to win the thing with cars in tow.

I recorded the race to see the poo poo show but that rave was amazing. SVG looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the track talent wise. .

I suppose being a three time champ and racing on quite a few more street circuits than the average cup driver will do that! Now to see if the race will be back because as Banzai said, the deal is ah, quite bad for the city!

It was a fun race. But future races if they happen will probably be lovely like everyone expected. Lots of stuff lined up to make it a fun race. From the wet track to the tire barriers that eat cars, it's a perfect mix for a fun race. Also cool that a 1st timer won the race. Nascar should say gently caress the rules and give him a spot in the playoffs.
