For the second time, NASCAR will take on the streets of Chicago. After torrential rain and storms wiped out a lot of the festivities, will year two be able to capture the imagination of race fans and Chicago residents curious about all the fuss?
Bob Pockrass says a lot could be riding on this year's event. With NASCAR initially wanting a three-year deal in Chicago, it's critical that this year's race be a success or we could see the event simply be something of the past.
Brett McMillan asks Jim Utter if this year's race can generate the excitement as last year? The festival-style atmosphere was lost to weather, but the racing was exciting, as Shane van Gisbergen won in his first Cup Series start. Is this a unique opportunity for NASCAR to make a first impression on its second try? #NASCAR
Speaking of SVG, how likely is it that the Kiwi repeats in Chicago? His extensive experience in the Xfinity Series should pay dividends, but Bob believes it's just too hard for a driver with limited Cup experience to win again with so much at stake.
