NASCAR's Chicago Street Race Weekend is on track to hit the city in the summer — and preparations are ramping up with tickets dropping Thursday.
Those looking to score some can do so — but it'll be pricey.
Two-day reserved tickets will start at $465 and reach into the depths of $3,377 for hospitality suites dubbed the President's Paddock Club, according to the event's website.
Two-day general admission tickets starting at $269 will be released at a later date. Reserved tickets can be purchased on NASCARChicago.com or by calling (888)629-7223.
The event is on track to hit the city Fourth of July weekend in 2023, with the Xfinity Series taking place Saturday, July 1, and the Cup Series unfolding Sunday, July 2.
The 12-turn, 2.2-mile street course will weave through Chicago staples like Michigan Avenue, Buckingham Fountain, Cloud Gate and Soldier Field.
“Chicago is one of the most iconic cities in the world, and the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series street race in the heart of downtown will be one of the can’t-miss sporting events in 2023,” Chicago Street Race President Julie Giese said in a statement released Tuesday. “The best part is, we will have options available for everyone ranging from all-inclusive packages with driver meet-and-greets to a free experience in Butler Field. We truly want anyone interested in experiencing a one-of-a-kind sports and entertainment festival to join us in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend.”
