CHICAGO – Street closures for the upcoming 2024 NASCAR Street Race in Chicago began Monday, with the event less than a month away.A portion of Ida B. Wells Drive was closed starting Monday. The bulk of the street closures will begin on June 27.Organizers said they've learned several lessons from last year's inaugural race. The big difference this year is that the set-up and breakdown of the downtown area will only last 19 days instead of 25 days like it took last year.
Organizers also made changes to pricing. This year, Saturday's big even will be free for children ages 12 and under. Also, unlike last year, single-day tickets will also be available for purchase.After raking in $109 million in revenue for the City of Chicago last year, the expectations this year are just as high.'I think last year, we all got a glimpse of how powerful this event could be,' said Michael Edwards, president and CEO of the Chicago Loop Alliance.
