NASCAR is doing something they have never done in their 75 year history. For the first time NASCAR is running a street course on the streets of Chicago.
In typical NASCAR fashion, Mother Nature follows the series wherever they go, and she decided to dump a LOT of rain on the city today.
NASCAR teams and drivers are used to delays for the weather, and they continue to find interesting/fun ways to pass the time during a delay. Take a look at how they made the most of the rainy day in the windy city!
Denny Hamlin’s team found a fun way to dry their pit stall, who knew sweeping water was a 2 man job?

The Trackhouse guys are true competitors, finding any way possible to do some racing!
The @TeamTrackhouse crew had a toy boat race in the water. 🤣

Noah Gragson shows the water taking a tire away, I wonder if this warrants an uncontrolled tire penalty?

Kaulig was kind enough to give another perspective of the sheer depth of the water on “pond road”.
