NASCAR Cup Series at Chicago street: Entry list, TV schedule for Sunday's race
The NASCAR Cup Series is on the streets of Chicago for the first time ever on Sunday.
The Grant Park 220 is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. CT Sunday and will run through the downtown Chicago streets around Grant Park, including Michigan Avenue.
There's a great deal of unknowns, so the expectations can be limited to those who are good road racers. But will there be ample room and opportunities for passing? How will the surface fare?
Ross Chastain earned his first Cup Series win of the season in Sunday's Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Don't expect the slipping and sliding at this street course.
