The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series is set to add even more excitement to the season with its first street race, the Grant Park 220.

Drivers will race through the streets of Chicago in hopes of gaining points and bragging rights to a unique place in NASCAR history.

“It’s in a great setting, and I think everybody’s looking forward to the challenge of the course and trying to do everything we need to do to put on a good show,” Kevin Harvick told RACER. “Whether you have a good race or not, the event is almost made before you get started.”

The Grant Park 220 comes a week after the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, where Ross Chastain got his first win of 2023. He is the 11th different driver to win a race this season and is third in the current standings, behind Martin Truex Jr. and William Byron.

Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson withdrew from the Chicago race earlier this week after his in-laws and nephew died in what authorities said was most likely a murder-suicide.

A man died during construction of the track Friday while working on the start/finish line.

“We are coordinating with local authorities on this tragic incident,” NASCAR said in a statement. “We share our condolences to the family and their loved ones.”
