We no longer have to just call it the “Chicago NASCAR Street Race“…
NASCAR has announced two new titles for the races taking place in Chicago this summer… The Grant Park 220 and The Loop 121. The Grant Park 220 gets its name for the 100 laps totaling 220 miles around Grant Park. And The Loop 121 is named for the 121 miles raced in 55 laps on a 12-turn, 2.2-mile street course.
