NASCAR had a chance to rectify its past mistake with the weather-impacted race in Chicago, receiving a more positive response from the garage this time around. The Cup Series teams were informed well in advance when the race would be called to completion unlike the previous year. This proactive approach was appreciated by the teams and influenced the race’s outcome. The race at Chicago street course started in wet conditions, but was halted due to heavy rain, and ultimately ended early due to darkness.
