NASCAR Chicago Street Race: Grant Park 165 start times, schedule and how to watch

NASCAR Cup Series is heading up north this weekend for the second annual Chicago Street Race.

The streets in and around Chicago's Grant Park will once again be transformed into a 2-mile course, as NASCAR takes on the challenge of a street circuit for the second time in its 75-year history.

The inaugural race in 2023 (Grant Park 220) saw three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen snatch victory, becoming the first driver to win his debut Cup Series race since Johnny Rutherford in 1963. Justin Haley came in second, followed by Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, and Kyle Busch rounding out the top five.

Unlike the familiar and predictable layout of four-turn oval tracks, this race course mapped through Chicago's Grant Park presents a formidable challenge, with a total of 12 turns that demand constant focus and different strategies from the drivers.
