NASCAR has confirmed that the Chicagoland Speedway will be featured in the 2027 schedule, marking a return to Joliet while opting not to include the downtown Chicago street race. Sources indicate that the decision comes after mixed results from previous events in Chicago, leading to the cancellation of the street race. The announcement highlights a focus on the Chicagoland Speedway, which has seen sellout attendance, contrasting with the withdrawal from city street racing. Fans can look forward to races at Chicagoland, but the street course in Chicago will not make a comeback.
