Sure sounds like this will be the last one here.

Ryan Preece and short tracks
Being reported that it's the first DNQ for a not Daytona 500 since 2018 Texas playoffs.
Now retired playoff drivers (round of 8) from that day-
Kevin Harvick (won the race)
Kurt Busch
Aric Almirola (in a SHR car)
Martin Truex Jr. (still with Furniture Row...wow)
Clint Bowyer
Trevor Bayne finished 21st- his final Cup race. That was the year he finally got booted from Roush halfway through the season but stayed on running part-time for whatever reason.

As long as Kansas keeps the May date. Their Fall date gets kinda chilly, plus I’m not a fan of driving up their during peak deer season.

That would make to much sense. The area wants it and its packed out
Well at least in Chicago you can drink the water.
Go to Mr. Beef.

At least in the north, Southside water gives you lead poisoning.

Yeah, but that just makes you stoopid. It won't give you the trots.
On the other hand, being sick didn't stop SVG.

Having been to Chicago once before, I’d imagine the parking situation is a mess, perhaps even expensive. I’m not sure my anxiety could handle going to a street race in a major city.

I'll be taking the Metra Electric train from the south suburbs.
The exit from the underground downtown station comes up at Michigan and Randolph, a half mile walk from the race entrance at Congress and Monroe.

Good advice from an honorary native of Chicago.

Although the White Sox spell it as one word . . .
Those native to the South Side disagree.
Maybe it has something to do with the lead in the drinking water.

So with street courses, you have reserved seats? Is that how road courses are too? I’ve never been to either one, but I always thought it was all general admission and you just roamed around.

Most are a mix of reserved and G.A.

If you’re gonna do pizza, stay away from deep dish. The regular Chicago/tavern style pizza will blow your mind.

Pizza is not supposed to be eaten with a fork and knife! I like deep dish but I don't really consider it pizza.

You are getting a lot of non race related info, so I will follow suit. Getchya a Chicago Dog or two. It rivals Martinsville’s dog.

Boy, if those were my only two options for hot dogs, I'd go vegan.

Rain in the forecast? That’s odd!
