How to watch and stream 2025 NASCAR Chicago Street Race
For the third year in a row, NASCAR is taking to the streets.
After making its NASCAR debut last July, the Chicago Street Course is back. While NASCAR races on winding road courses every season, the Chicago Street Race is the only one on the schedule this season that’ll take place on real city streets.
The downtown Chicago loop area has been transformed into a 2.2-mile racetrack that’ll see NASCAR drivers whizzing by some of the city’s most notable landmarks and racing down iconic streets like Michigan Ave.
