NASCAR at Chicago 2024: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Grant Park 165

play

For the second consecutive season, NASCAR takes over the Windy City for a street race through downtown Chicago on Sunday.

Cup Series drivers will cruise down iconic streets such as Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive and past famous landmarks like Buckingham Fountain in a race that starts and finishes in front of Grant Park.

The 2023 race was marred by torrential rain, which delayed the start by more than 90 minutes and shortened the number of laps because of fading daylight, but it still produced a unique event and an exciting finish. This year’s conditions should be vastly improved, with a Sunday forecast of partly sunny skies and a high of 87 degrees.

With only seven races remaining in the regular season, Sunday presents a prime opportunity for a winless driver who excels on road and street courses to reach victory lane and snag a playoff berth.

Who will capture the checkered flag in Chicago? Here is all the information you need to get ready for Sunday’s Grant Park 165:

What time does the NASCAR Cup race at Chicago start?

The Grant Park 165 starts at 4:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. local) on the streets of downtown Chicago.

What TV channel is the NASCAR Cup race at Chicago on?

NBC is broadcasting the Grant Park 165 and will have a pre-race show at 4 p.m. ET (3 p.m. local).

Will there be a live stream of the NASCAR Cup race at Chicago?

The Grant Park 165 can be live streamed on Peacock, the NBCSports website and the NBC Sports app. The race is also available to stream on Fubo.

How many laps is the NASCAR Cup race at Chicago?

The Grant Park 165 is 75 laps around the 2.2-mile street course for a total of 165 miles. The race will feature three segments (laps per stage) – Stage 1: 20 laps; Stage 2: 25 laps; Stage 3: 30 laps.

Who won the most recent NASCAR Cup race at Chicago?

Shane van Gisbergen won his NASCAR Cup Series debut, chasing down Justin Haley and Chase Elliott on July 2, 2023, in a memorable finish to the series’ first street race. The New Zealand native and three-time Supercars champion led the final eight laps and pulled away from Haley by 1.259 seconds to become the first driver to win his Cup debut since Johnny Rutherford in the second qualifying race at Daytona in 1963.
