NASCAR: The full qualifying order for the Chicago street race has been canceled due to…

The NASCAR Cup Series will have its second street race on the streets of Chicago, Illinois, this Sunday afternoon.

After staging the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series street race last July, the streets of Chicago, Illinois are set to host the second annual Grant Park 165 on Sunday afternoon.

The 12-turn, 2.2-mile (3.541-kilometer) temporary street circuit, officially known as the Chicago Street Course, will remain the Cup Series’ only street circuit in 2024, despite being one of five non-ovals on the schedule.

As a result, traditional road and street course qualifying will be used to decide the starting grid for Sunday’s 75-lap race. Drivers were divided into two groups based on a measure that NASCAR implemented in 2020.

A detailed explanation of that formula, which includes four variables, may be found here. Road and street circuits, unlike oval tracks, require group qualifying. The top five drivers in each group will proceed to the second round to compete for the pole position.

The drivers who fail to advance out of the first group are set to start the race on the outside row, beginning with 12th place in the sixth row, and the drivers who fail to advance out of the second group are set to start the race on the inside row, beginning with 11th in the sixth race.

This marks a small change from when the series first raced on the streets of Chicago last July.

However, the recent change to the second round of qualifying does not affect the road and street course races, since a single-car qualifying format is not utilized.
