It&#8217;s going to draw fans. People are going to attend. It&#8217;s in all likelihood going to be something we talk about for the rest of the summer because it was &#8220;cool&#8221;. But it&#8217;s like North Avenue Beach, because it gets to a point where you digest and say to yourself, &#8220;at what cost?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This city is already frustrating enough to navigate. We&#8217;ve had construction going simultaneously on every highway in and out of the city for the past 32 years of my life. I can&#8217;t drive down Ashland Avenue without doing at least $1200 worth of damage to the undercarriage of my car. And these are all just transportation and infrastructure issues. Let me also say that I&#8217;m not blaming the NASCAR Street Race for getting in the way or any of those things. I&#8217;m just saying, it&#8217;s difficult for me to care about some boutique effort for NASCAR to piggyback onto the growing popularity of F1 in America at the expense of virtually everything about a Chicago summer.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a losing effort, that&#8217;s about the &#8216;it&#8217; of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hendrickmotorsports.com\/news\/articles\/119435\/chicago-street-course-2023-nascar-cup-series-schedule\">Hendricks Motorsports<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction workers, start your building!
