What’s Happening?
As the NASCAR Cup Series heads into the summer stretch, one of the marquee events of the season, the Chicago Street Race, is coming into focus. Some teams are set to unveil special paint schemes for the event, and these are all of the paint schemes we’ve seen, so far.
- The Chicago Street Race is NASCAR’s first and, so far, only 100% street course race. The rarity of the event combined with the race being on 4th of July weekend inspires some pretty unique paint schemes.
- Some paint schemes will be patterend after Chicago businesses. However, other paint schemes could be patriotic for the fourth of July festivities.
- Fans love to see unique paint schemes for events like the Chicago Street Race. It’s fun to see drivers and teams get into the spirit of a race weekend.
