NASCAR has made adjustments to competition procedures for its second annual Chicago street course race, notably relocating the choose rule from Turn 6 to Turn 9 based on driver feedback from last year’s event. The field will now receive the “one to go” signal for restarts in Turn 5, a change from Turn 7 last year. The restart zone location remains unchanged, positioned before Turn 12. Drivers must maintain position until the frontstretch before changing lanes upon restart through Turn 12. The 2.2-mile, 12-turn course layout remains the same, with multiple spotter locations and consistent competition logistics as the prior year in Chicago. NASCAR will have displays at Butler Field accessible to the public, offering shopping, simulators, the NASCAR Experience, and driver appearances. Ticket holders can enjoy musical performances by Keith Urban, The Chainsmokers, the Black Keys, and Lauren Alaina at the festival field during the closed course weekend starting Saturday, June 6.
