Based on tweets from Jeff Gluck, some of the security personnel at the track are not on the same page as NASCAR/event organizers and are telling fans that today’s race is cancelled and to leave the premises.

Because lightning delays have never happened to NASCAR before?

There were people climbing on bus stops and L stations, piled onto rooftops, gathered in windows, and peering through fences on the lakefront just to get a glimpse of an xfinity race.

IMO there are people who are rooting for this to be a failure. Take that as you will.

Those were pissed off looters that the fence stopped them from some free nascsr tires and other parts.

All joking aside just trying to get on camera to wave.

Take note if you DVR race:

Due to the potential for rain, the green flag for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Grant Park 220 has been moved up to 5:05pmet. (4:05pm central time)

It's raining pretty hard. I'm already soaked. No lightning, but they ain't starting on time.

I did get to meet Josh Williams though. We were walking the same way toward the course.

Looks like mostly rain with occasional lightning, but the whole area is in a flash flood warning so they aren’t racing right now even if it isn’t lightning.

Current Chicago radar:



As you can see, the storm is almost just sitting there.

Bob Pockrass is saying that he believes that tomorrow is an option if one or both of these races doesn’t happen today, but that the City won’t let them go beyond Monday.

Xfinity Series race only needs to make 2 laps to be official. Looks like they’re about to give it a shot.

There is some major standing water in some places on the track.
