The NASCAR Cup Series will feature the first street circuit race this weekend in Chicago. The 2.1-mile course winds through streets in and around Grant Park on the shore of Lake Michigan. The Grant Park 220 will be a challenge unlike any other in stock car racing. Though, Jimmie Johnson has withdrawn from the race after his in-laws and 11-year-old nephew were killed in a murder-suicide.
