Talk about racing on the streets of Chicago this weekend…
“Taking our cars to the city of Chicago is going to be interesting, for sure. I hope it’s a success. I know NASCAR has put a lot of effort into it and they’ve done a great job promoting this race. It’s a historic event for our series being the first street course, so I think that ramps up the excitement and intensity for everyone because everyone wants to be the first winner of an event like this.”
