Cars from different racing teams are already loaded into the “garage alley,” which is set up along DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

This year promises to be an unforgettable race.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series – The Loop 110 is scheduled to start on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The action will continue with the Cup Series on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m., where Derrick Rose will serve as the grand marshal.

The 2.2-mile, 12-turn track will take drivers through Grant Park and along DuSable Lake Shore Drive, setting a scenic stage.

NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Briscoe shared what makes the scenic Chicago track uniquely challenging.

“Just extremely treacherous. There’s just no margin for error when you come here,” Briscoe said. “And just, it changes literally every single year.”

There are also plenty of free activities all weekend at Butler Field.

Courtney Sanders, representing Blue Star Families, a military service organization, will be part of unfurling the large American flag before Sunday’s race. She discussed the event with ABC7 on Saturday morning.
