OOTG: Eric’s Chicago Street Race Experience

Eric Estepp was in the stands at the Chicago Street Race this weekend. Despite the great response to the great race this weekend, Eric takes some time to discuss the good and bad of the street race. What went well or not on Sunday, and what does that mean for the race’s future.

• Eric was complimentary of a lot of the at-track experience, particularly when it came to the location right in the middle of the city.
• Eric was not a fan of how the City of Chicago went about their weather policy.
• Even if Chicago does not happen again, Eric feels that NASCAR proved they can race on street courses, but there is a limit to how many he wants.

Eric described the event in his title as a “Disaster turned Triumph” given how the weather mucked up the event. However, he feels this race shows great potential for NASCAR racing on city streets.
