👋 Dear Motorheads,
In the last edition, the Lucky Dog warned you that Shane van Gisbergen wouldn’t repeat his heroics in Chicago and that is exactly what happened. Although most fans were sad to see the Kiwi fail, they didn't really know what to feel about the street race. Some called it the most frustrating race of the season. Others think NASCAR should definitely keep this circuit. However, between the two options, keeping the track in rotation seems more difficult as there’s a lawsuit hovering over the future of the Chicago Street Race.
Speaking of the race itself, we’re ready to unpack the most notable incidents from a race where even the veterans bowed out on the wet surface.
Although only 5 cautions spanned the entire event, it was a fender-bender bonanza right from the start! But enough talk. We’ve got a Chicago-City-sized scoop to keep you in the loop.
So let's dive in!
