NASCAR holds back-to-back weekends of racing on courses that turn right and left. Today it is the streets of Chicago. Next weekend it will be the road course in Sonoma, California. Much can change over the next two races — and particularly today’s race with the possibility of rain in the forecast.

The NASCAR Chicago Street Race held their annual loop course on July 5-6. As rumors of the race’s departure to the west coast growing louder, fans reveled in the atmosphere of the event.
