They normally had a well attended and successful festival called Taste of Chicago in that area over the 4th of July. One option was to move it believe it or not to Joliet and the Chicagoland speedy grounds which was not warmly excepted so they are moving it to Labor day weekend which is also not being warmly excepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The No. 6 Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing Ford of Brad Keselowski and No. 12 Team Penske Ford of Ryan Blaney failed inspection twice at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway near St. Louis on Friday. As a result, car chiefs from both teams were ejected from the track’s pit and garage areas for the remainder of the weekend that will culminate in Sunday’s running of the Enjoy Illinois 300 by the NASCAR Cup Series. Both teams also lost their pit selections for Sunday’s race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Stickly rumors heared this weekend???? 1) North Wilkesboro will have a points race 2) Rockingham will get resurrected and hold the Allstars race next year 3) 2nd street race in New York 4) What is cost for nascar to build/remove a track at the colloseum is less than it cost for yearly maintenance/taxes/upgrades at their permanent tracks. That's what put a hold/changed plans in California and has Nascar exploring other avenues. We'll see if any of these comes true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 There's one truck with a fuel tank in back that we fill up. This truck goes and fills up the air titans you see on the track. All the air titans and wreckers are loaded on flatbeds and transported to each track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
