NASCAR has this neat idea, to do a street race in Chicago, and it would work out even better if it wouldn’t rain every time they try to do it.

Rod Mullins joins the podcast to preview the street race, with a look at the favorites, the two guys who’ve won there the past two years – Alex Bowman won in 2024, and Shane Van Gisbergen, who won there in 2023.

We also look back at Chase Elliott’s win in Atlanta this past weekend, his first win in 44 races, and break down off-the-track news involving Daniel Suarez.
