The Indy car race through Baltimore a couple of years ago was cool. I can only imagine Stock cars there would be better. Those Indy cars are fragile, Stock cars are made for banging in the corners.
NASCAR is finally realizing why F1 has been the pinnacle of Motorsports for decades. Road races with challenging environmental conditions are what showcase great racing and great drivers.
I was there general admission. The rain was cool to me. Nothing like rain in the Windy City with cars flying by. Can’t wait for next year going to start saving up for the vip pass.
i don't normally follow Nascar b/c i don't care for ovals, but THIS is great! Thanks a bunch to nascar for putting these highlights up to YT so i can enjoy them!! :)
Mike Bagley was not part of the MRN broadcast this week, but I agree. I've been listening to the radio broadcast over TV for a couple years now. I'm not going to try to convince anyone of anything, but I recommend that if you haven't to try listening to the radio one race.
@j.paulm.1575 thanks for the clarification, didn't get a chance to watch much this year to include this race so wasn't aware. Hopefully they keep including Mike and the whole MRN team. Makes the TV broadcast more entertaining, I'm sure
😂😂😂😂!!!! NASCAR at its Best!!!!! Loved it. That is what I Call a Great Race Day Plus a Heck of Drive!!!! This is a Real Statement about NASCAR Drivers: Not only they can drive in Street Racing but Also in the Rain ☔️….. we Should Have more Races like this ….. KUDOS.
So many people have called for SVG to get more experience on ovals in Xfinity before transitioning to Cup.. Yet he's still able to pass guys and consistently finish in the top 15 on ovals without crashing and taking people out.. Unlike these so called best drivers in the world who can't keep their car underneath them when the roads wet. Now ya'll gonna cry.. 'they have no experience in the wet" Well now you know what SVG is up against and the stella job he's doing with no experience on ovals, but he's doing a much better job than these top tier cup guys by not crashing, not taking others out and finishing races. Edit: Oh btw.. How good is street racing hey! So entertaining 👍
Right, road is not a high priority nore should it be. This race is definitely fun and entertaining but we don't need more road courses, id rather not change another thing in NASCAR.........
Most all Nascar fans love SVG and his skill on road courses. He's finishing top 20 on ovals in the Xfinity series, where the talent is much lesser than Cup. He's getting a lot better at ovals and I agree he should be in a cup car next year full time. No need to defend SVG in RUclips comments, he is well loved
Eh, I don’t blame briscoe. It’s rainy conditions, he locks it up, and he happens to run into SVG. Not necessarily a bad mistake, although it’s still a mistake. It’s just an unfortunate incident for SVG
I normally hate road races, but that was one the best races I've seen in a while. Took me back reminded me of the old formula 1 movie when they were racing at Monaco.
haha I ...see... what you mean. But they are usually looking at the fractions of a second between the cars on numbers chart. If you can see it visually it just means the gap is closing rapidly.
It's probably best that SVG got taken out when he did because the NASCAR regs would not have seen which way he went on a wet track once he hit the front
It looks like he was thinking he could either take out the car in front like Briscoe, and himself, or he could just take himself out. And he made the decision to take himself out. I don't think he was expecting to clip the other car, sent him almost straight into the concrete barriers, but I respect the decision behind it.
@@tylerrogers3263 Plus these low profile tires behave much differently than the ones still used in Xfinity. Once a low profile tire starts to skid, you are just along for the ride because it's not gripping any time soon.
@@MikeG42 What do you mean by this btw? I don't get it? Is it jealousy or what? What will just said is 100% i agree with and I'd say alot of fans of NASCAR would say..
I know that this race is fundamentally a shot NASCAR is taking at bringing in F1 fans, but if the racing is consistently this entertaining, I’m 100% okay with the pandering. This was a banger of a race.
Year two of a 'what would have happened if.' Weather has been ridiculous. I don't want races decided on tire choices that decide SUCH differences in speed.
The novelty of the Chicago street race has worn off. Nascar needs to return to Daytona over the 4th of July week and give us some some high speed racing.

Thank you Nascar for allowing the teams to run what ever tire they wanted during the race!
Noah Gragson being the driver that crashed here last year the most but being the only SHR driver not to crash this year is peak character development
It's his strong meme game
Wow
this is why nascar will survive... the highlights are amazing
Amazing race minus the dumb red flag
and fans hated the idea of more road courses...
@@theacgkid they do now at least
And yet the highlights missed the Allmendinger crash.
as long as there's stage racing...it will never get back to mainstream popularity
This is becoming one of my new favorite tracks. They need more city racing.
Imagine nascar in monza
@@garygaminghd5179 If they do that, they have to run on the old configuration and refurbish that old oval segment.
please no.
The Indy car race through Baltimore a couple of years ago was cool. I can only imagine Stock cars there would be better. Those Indy cars are fragile, Stock cars are made for banging in the corners.
@@1BYEBYE1please yes, oval racing is just as exiting as watching paint dry….
Not a full-time fan, but I love this race. Great addition to the series.
I’m usually not a street course guy but it’s been a fun race to watch keep it on the lineup @NASCAR
I love this race. It’s something new, and announcing it like a radio broadcast brings me joy
Absolutely gorgeous views. The Chicago race is phenomenal. Hopefully weather is better next year!
Driving under the influence of Rain Was a Heck of a Race…. 😊
NASCAR is finally realizing why F1 has been the pinnacle of Motorsports for decades. Road races with challenging environmental conditions are what showcase great racing and great drivers.
Nascar is better on road courses. And even better in the rain!
I was there general admission. The rain was cool to me. Nothing like rain in the Windy City with cars flying by. Can’t wait for next year going to start saving up for the vip pass.
me too!
i don't normally follow Nascar b/c i don't care for ovals, but THIS is great! Thanks a bunch to nascar for putting these highlights up to YT so i can enjoy them!! :)
Whenever they include the MRN calls in these, it becomes immediately apparent how much of a higher level they're on than the TV announcers
That is the absolute truth, the nbc announcers put me to sleep...
At least NBC is better than Fox but that’s not saying much.
@@emsguy486 true that

I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY NASCAR AND NASCAR TRUCK SERIES FAMILY!!!!
🌆 Those shots along the cityscape are gorgeous.
As a Brit I've never particularly liked Nascar, this however is actually amazing. Really good racing
This race is really good. I had doubts but it's entertaining.
remember when the initial set laps for chicago was 100 laps?… yeah no way that was ever possible… 😭
Not with the rain it wasn’t. woulda been chaos. Too slippery hahahah
Ya when you don't start till 5 pm est
If it stayed dry the entire race, then sure it could be done. But in wet? Yeah, even 75 is pushing it.
Why do they wait till late in the day to do this race just start at 1
Waiting till 1630 CST wasn’t the greatest idea coupled with the Rain.
This Is GREAT street racing along with IMSA
One of the coolest tracks I’ve seen so far
😂😂😂😂!!!! NASCAR at its Best!!!!! Loved it. That is what I Call a Great Race Day Plus a Heck of Drive!!!! This is a Real Statement about NASCAR Drivers: Not only they can drive in Street Racing but Also in the Rain ☔️….. we Should Have more Races like this ….. KUDOS.

They will get better, I mean count all those that didn’t crash
These drivers are only the best in the world on ovals, I mean no offence but the majority are so far off the pace on road courses

@@jaythesing4453 boomer.
If they get more racetracks like this, I think nascar can become more popular around the world. This is what racing is all about
Briscoe done that wreck on SVG for a Bookie for sure!
He's Gibb's new stooge so
@@rwood1325 I made the same comment and some dude said lay off the meth...
Congratulations Alex Bowman. Nice Finish.
Welcome to let’s see how many times shr drivers forgot how to take corners
best racing on the planet
I NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME WATCH NASCAR RACING. IT RELAXES ME.
Amazing street track love this race. Maybe best of the season imo. 🔥🔥 🏁
THE SUKUNA NASCAR IS CRAZYYY😭😍
Why did NASCAR start this race so late?
Because they struggle with common sense.
Cause Indycar was also on NBC Earlier in the day
@@AnneBUZZTKO they'll have no excuse next year with IndyCar on Fox now.
Was Looking For SVG To Get First Ever Chicago Street Course Sweep Will Not Happen This Year.
@@malikdigger4544 ya thanks to those great weekly drivers with their talent
Might not happen next year either. The boys are fast learners.
Good glad svg was knocked the F out
Hate to say it SVG should be pissed at Briscoe he would have won the race if it wasn’t for Briscoe
Excuses, excuses
@@jamesswain2465 Briscoe is that you?
I would say briscoe ran out of talent but he didn't have any to start with....shame for gizzy he would of DEFINITELY won but wrong place/wrong time..
Agreed 100% SVG is a way better driver than anyone in this series!
Eh, I don’t blame briscoe. It’s rainy conditions, he locks it up, and he happens to run into SVG. Not necessarily a bad mistake, although it’s still a mistake. It’s just an unfortunate incident for SVG
I normally hate road races, but that was one the best races I've seen in a while. Took me back reminded me of the old formula 1 movie when they were racing at Monaco.
This turned out to be a perfect street circuit for Nascar
Best street takeover I’ve ever seen 👍
"The gap is closing. You can see it visually." I'd be worried if you could see it any other way.
Have a heart, these announcers aren't exactly lit majors or Rhodes Scholars.
@@TheSaturnV Apparently they're not even English speakers and they're getting paid to speak English.🙄
I think he meant as opposed to watching the lap timer and gap time
haha I ...see... what you mean. But they are usually looking at the fractions of a second between the cars on numbers chart. If you can see it visually it just means the gap is closing rapidly.
@@BananasananaB The Department of Redundancy Department would like a word.
I'm not a fan of driving in an oval for hundreds of miles but this is dope haha. Need more road course/circuit races.
15:11 JHN: I believe I can fly!!
nascar left the big oval? No way!
Made me wait all that time just to have SVG crashed out, smh my hams
Good !
NASCAR needs to start this race earlier in the day plain and simple hope they learn
FR! I think they make it up as they go like last year was 100 laps
Briscoe running out of talent taking out the favourite smh
Ha Ha Ha , glad Briscoe wrecked that MF
Going to JGR where that’s a common theme. Talentless drivers.
@@DisappointingWorld Not true ENTIRELY. Bell's got true talent.
you act as if he ever had talent. he's as hopeless as Corey.
@@rosarioyeen1371 hah real
This track looks amazing. They should do one in NY.
so unfourtuante it had another rain delay for the second year in a row, such a cool event
That dude burned them tires down after the W
Thanks for the highlights ❤
It's probably best that SVG got taken out when he did because the NASCAR regs would not have seen which way he went on a wet track once he hit the front
He got the lead but wasn't going anywhere. Gibbs and C-Bell were right there.
FR!! He'd be lapping cars for sure! Makes one think it was intentional.
What was Larson thinking ...I think thought he was in a sprint car ready to slide thru the corner...
It looks like he was thinking he could either take out the car in front like Briscoe, and himself, or he could just take himself out. And he made the decision to take himself out. I don't think he was expecting to clip the other car, sent him almost straight into the concrete barriers, but I respect the decision behind it.
That's what happens when the wheels lock up, not like he meant to do that or was thinking anything about sprint car racing.
@@2639theboss Yeah he cut right to avoid the 54 and just about slipped around the end of the tires and into solid concrete.
@@tylerrogers3263 Plus these low profile tires behave much differently than the ones still used in Xfinity. Once a low profile tire starts to skid, you are just along for the ride because it's not gripping any time soon.
@@TheSaturnVexactly! He had no control of the car at that point.
CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL DRIVERS AND TEAMS!!!! GREAT RACING BY EVERYONE!!!! WHAT A TOTALLY AWSOME RACE AND A TOTALLY AWSOME RACETRACK!!!!
hey congrats #48!!!
Reminds me of the Gold Coast street track. Great racing
Jordan race team is really impressive!!! Hopefully they can keep it up next year
Great racing, road course in the rain 🌧️ . In the streets of the Windy City..
Great job Alex!! So glad you were able to hold off those damned Yoters!
Briscoe to SVG: Welcome to NASCAR
I was watching the final moments of the Race until BOOM!!! A news update on Beryl came on!
Finally 48 wins 🏆
What's next, NASCAR figure 8 races? I'm here for that.
9:09 Larson forgot that he's supposed to turn the steering wheel to change direction. LOL
Awesome action.
If Moses was in a sidecar, Briscoe still couldn’t Fing drive!
SVG Wuz Robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least he scored a W in the Xfinity Series race
and Bell!
Robbed of a chance to fight Gibbs, C-Bell, Bowman and Reddick for the win. Would have been quite the showdown, shame it wasn't meant to be.
What happened? Did he wander into a bad neighborhood when crying about his DNF?
@@MikeG42 😆😆😆
SVG is by far the best driver. Actual race driver.
Well too bad for you
@@MikeG42 What do you mean by this btw? I don't get it? Is it jealousy or what? What will just said is 100% i agree with and I'd say alot of fans of NASCAR would say..
Best driver? On road courses or all around best driver?
Huh?
Great race

😮 oh snap, I didn't know NASCAR had street courses. And they put one in Chicago? I have to get caught up.
I LOVE IT!!!!
Wrecked Bubba then won the race, nice!
All of hms cars in playoffs now let's go chase🎉🎉🎉
Helluva burnout
Need to start these races earlier thunder storms start building and raining around 3 o'clock
Year two of a 'what would have happened if.' Weather has been ridiculous. I don't want races decided on tire choices that decide SUCH differences in speed.
Looked like Larson drove right into the barrier. Love this race
Crash Briscoe ruined SVG's race. What a joke
Can't have it your way all the time, SVG sucks
Amateur
knocked SVG out not wet track
Poor svd, hope you are still fuming after that 😆
@@MikeG42That's the breaks buddy
The novelty of the Chicago street race has worn off. Nascar needs to return to Daytona over the 4th of July week and give us some some high speed racing.
Go back to 100 laps start at 1 o’clock, easy , solutions based is my operandi
That should hopefully be possible with IndyCar moving to Fox next year. They've also gotten really unlucky with the weather both years.
Just watch the video on silent. Its much more tolerable
Unlucky SVG next 1 mate
I never knew Nascar had road circuit
I didn't even know nascar raced on city circuits.
great job HAND!
Has there been a race this season that corey lajoie hasnt been facing backwards?
What NASCAR should do is probably move the race date up maybe to May or June. Might help with weather situation. Just my opinion.
It rains in May and June.
las vegas st circuit?
That was good!
Never knew NASCAR wasn't only racing in an oval! How often do they race in these kinds of tracks?
Chase Briscoe out there driving about as well as I would...
Most assuredly an insult to yourself sir!
