Let’s take a spin around the 2.2-mile, 12-turn Chicago Street Course.
The inaugural Grant Park 220 in downtown Chicago will take NASCAR Cup Series drivers past the city’s iconic landmarks and along its notable avenues, including Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue.
Beginning with the front straightaway, pit road will be stationed for two blocks along South Columbus Drive near Buckingham Fountain.
Turn one will be made onto East Balbo Drive, facing Lake Michigan.
Turn two leads the drivers to Lake Shore Drive near Grant Park’s softball fields.
Turn three will be a slow, right-hand maneuver in front of the Field Museum.
Turn four is a near-90-degree turn onto East Roosevelt Road, marking the southernmost point of the track.
Turn five takes racers back onto South Columbus Drive and features a long straightaway.
Turn six leads the competitors back onto East Balbo Drive close to the first turn.
Turn seven could prove to be one of the most challenging parts of the street track. The drivers will turn right onto South Michigan Avenue and race toward a chicane.
Turn eight features a curve with Congress Plaza to the right and takes the pilots to a chicane across Ida B. Wells Drive.
Turn nine leads the drivers back in front of Buckingham Fountain.
Turn 10 will place the racers back on Michigan Avenue for a short spin.
Turn 11 represents the northernmost point of the circuit, a right-hand turn onto East Jackson Drive, near the iconic lions of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Turn 12 detours the drivers back to the long, front straightaway along Columbus Drive.
And then the Cup competitors get to do it all over again, 100 times in all before the checkered flag waves on the much-anticipated road course adventure.
