The NASCAR haulers have rolled their way into downtown as drivers and their teams get set for the third edition of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race in Grant Park.

The first two years of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race were accented by rain, but maybe the third edition will be a charm for fans and drivers.

Some businesses benefit. This year, Chicago-based sports caterer Levy is bringing 20 local eateries to a festival for NASCAR ticketholders in Grant Park over the weekend. They include Mr. Beef, Josephine’s Southern Cooking, Bronzeville Winery and Cloud Cookie, as well as two Levy restaurants, Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap and River Roast.
