How exactly is this event going to improve stock car racing’s national profile? Gotta believe that the majority of fans left are still Right-leaning and this probably will not be a popular location for those people. And I have to think that there will be a pretty decent stink created by NASCAR shutting the place down for so long.

Where will the people be at to view the race? Where will they all park? Temp grandstands? How many people can fit in them?

I can’t think of any reason I’d go to Chicago. NASCAR would not even come close to getting me there

I can see the traffic mess that shutting down LSD will cause.

They have big events at Grant Park every year with no mass killings Hard to believe it would be a new market They have 3 tracks close to them already maybe not road course tracks but how far is Indy 3 maybe 4 hours it’s a road course I’m sure somewhere they have figured out just how far and just how much a fan will travel and spend to get to a event not just NASCAR but every sport |

Chicago is a Street course(first for Nascar)not a road course they are racing on the street not at a track but I understand the point. I say most folks going will be local and going just for the event.I believe the race is just part of what will be going on!

With as tight as street courses are with Indycar and F1 I can't imagine much "racing" happening with Cup cars. They already use the new composite bodies like carnival bumper cars and concrete walls on both sides will just plug up yhe track. Track position will be the only strategy. |

I can’t think of any reason I’d go to Chicago. NASCAR would not even come close to getting me there That's a good personal policy to have. My S.I.L. lives there and I am occasionally coerced into visiting. My favorite part of a visit there is when we cross the state line back to IN. The fact that she pays more per month in rent than I pay in mortgage, property taxes, and insurance combined is enough for me. I haven't put a tape to it, but I'm confident that her apartment would fit inside my garage with room to spare. |

Beer maker,
My grandson lives in Chicago because of his work. I think he pays $2500 a month for a two bedroom apartment on the 27th floor of his building. He is in the relatively safe area of Chicago. He has a permit to carry and does. We worry about him a lot.
His work has taken him from Miami to Brooklyn to Chicago. In Brooklyn he could not get a carry permit.
