About this episode
After weeks of road closures and a healthy amount of skepticism from city residents, NASCAR weekend is upon us. We hear from a few City Cast listeners and Hey Chicago readers, some of whom want to avoid the area and others excited for the race. Plus, host Jacoby Cochran talks with Don Ingle, a DePaul University sports communication professor about why Chicago and NASCAR pushed for their first ever street race. Check out Hey Chicago for a helpful guide with all NASCAR event details, plus more on road closures and other events happening outside of downtown this weekend. Some good news: Antojito’s , Chicago’s two day Latin American Comedy Fest, starts Friday.
