The 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race faced significant delays due to rainy weather, reminiscent of last year's stormy conditions that caused numerous disruptions. The main event, the Grant Park 165, started later than scheduled and was halted at various points due to heavy rain, which led to multiple crashes and challenging driving conditions. Fans remained resilient, with many braving the rain to experience the unique street race in Chicago's downtown. Despite the wet conditions, the race saw moments of excitement, including Shane van Gisbergen winning Saturday's The Loop 110 before crashing out on Sunday. The National Weather Service forecasted continued scattered showers and thunderstorms, potentially affecting the race's progression until its cutoff time of 8:20 p.m. CT.
