I watched that race from start to stop. Never left the TV. My city looked amazing, and you could tell that the drivers and fans were really into it. Loved it!
Made me want to visit Chicago real bad!
@@MinisterManDan I'm from the South, my brother who is way more country, fisherman, hunter than I am, and he went recently, after never wanting to go to the north, and he had a really good time.
My brother went to the race and made a wrong turn and ended up getting car jacked in his rental car. Gotta love the smelly onion 🌰 of Chicago
@@pattfam5663I'll take things that didn't happen for $500 Alex
Yea it’s amazing how well the TV coverage made your disgusting $hithole city look nice. I was shocked it actually looked nice. But we all know Chicago is really a woke filled City with nothing but crime.
So happy SVG won. Such an awesome moment
SVG was amazing! Handled this track like a BOSS!! Larson said it perfect, he took everyone to school!!
Yous sound like you might be a HARRIS
It was a much better race than I expected.
It's ok to have low expectations
That was the first race I've watched in a decade and I enjoyed it.
We can tell, go ride your bicycle
@@walterdanner6372walter go drink a beer. today’s not the day for your hostility
@@walterdanner6372 Poor Walter🤥, somebody has a different opinion. 😁
Single file starts, boring.
Can't see the whole track. Go fight the city for a spot to watch the cars go by! He'll no. Thought it was a snooze fest.
Wreck clogs track . Lol. Race shortened! After everyone chose to pit.
That was not exciting.
@mattfetter4123 it was good you're ego can't handle it
The one thing I'd change for next year is the start time. Start at 1 or 2 pm and if there's too much rain or lightning, it at least gives a bigger window to get the race in. Wouldn't have made a difference this past weekend but who know's what next year's weather will bring.
I believe they had to push the rave back because they intended on running the Xfinity race before, but that didn't happen with the rain. Not that it would have mattered. They raced when they could.
I'd simply delete all road coarse races period,get it bk to its roots, if you like road course racing ,buy a go cart
The dummies need to call it NASCART , IT'S NOT ROUND TRACT RACING ANYMORE, I HOPE They GO BELLY UP IF THE STAY THE CURRENT PLATFORM
Hey let's go to a MONEYCAR RACE , THEY'VE TAKEN THE SPORT DOWN A SHITTY RABBIT HOLE
@@walterdanner6372 AMEN!!
I'm not surprised at all. This car has produced the best racing we've seen in a decade as long as it's not a short track. The shirt track package needs tweaked tremendously.
Dial up the HP on short tracks. The cars look dead slow on them.
And maybe if superspeedways weren’t as gridlocked it would then be perfect!
Watched this race with 3 family members that don't watch nascar and they enjoyed it lol
Hey brother just looked it up your 6th in points woo woo. The way the race was filmed was excellent, Junior's happy excitement made me wish I was there.
It's far better watching than a boring oval 😅
Ovals can be a little tough to watch on TV, but in person they are pretty great. Actually, driving on an oval track is pretty intense even though I prefer to drive on circuit tracks. Ovals aren't boring if you understand how they are difficult and if you enjoy racing strategy. Motorsport newbs usually don't have the experience required to understand and enjoy ovals.
@tbwj21 I guess you're right as you probably get to see more of the racing at an oval circuit but man are they bor8ng asf on TV just going around and around, I prefer street anyway
I’m with Denny I couldn’t believe how good the race was either. My fear is that NASCAR will try to use this praise from the fans to flood the schedule with street courses.
That won’t happen
if anything just keep this one, it works, and it works well, next one may not
Nahh just keep this one. They proved they can do it. One is great.
I'm from Chicago, loved the race. But rotate it. Every 4 years. Make it special. Nashville street course. Kansas City, street course. Minneapolis street course. Pittsburgh Street course. That's 5 including Chicago. International, Mexico City, Toronto. One per year. It needs to be about drivers and cars, not just cars.
It’s a novelty race just like dirt at Bristol. Cool idea once or twice but after that………..meh! Even racing at Indy is boring, other than the fact it’s Indy.
2:36 and 6:35 are a ringing endorsement for the Metropolitan Water Reclaimation District and the civil engineering efforts of the City of Chicago. Built on a swamp, its amazing drainage is possible at all. Chicago got 8 inches of rain that Sunday, which is twice as much as the entire month of July's average which is the second wettest month of the year.
What!?!?
To drain so much water so fast is utterly insane.
Chicago could make Bank lending their Civil Engineers to other cities to fix their systems.
I have a feeling they dumped it into the lake. I was on the beach Monday and they had don’t swim signs everywhere on the beach.
We need single file restarts at COTA.
Its just common sense, something Nascar lacks.
Yes please. Single file restarts on anything that isn't an oval.
I am more of a racing fan partial to road courses than a NASCAR fan per say. I watch a lot of Indycar and IMSA. But I loved this race. Normally I just watch the extended highlights for NASCAR on UA-cam. I watched the full race start to finish! I put it on Peacock on my phone when I had to go to the bathroom.
The single file restarts, not throwing the stage cautions made this a much better event IMO.
I'm surprised SVG won but not surprised he ran up front. Scott McLaughlin in Indycar came from that series. Those guys can drive.
the V8 supercars are very similar to the cup cars, they just have a bit more aero.
Race sucked, NASCAR is dying, Dale Jr needs to buy NASCAR and fix it!
Stick to Indy and IMSA. You can have that style of racing. No NASCAR fan wants indy or IMSA style racing.
*per se.
I'm a kiwi and you guys put on 1 hell of a show. It was great to see SVG win the race but thats what he does so well. Street circuits are the normal for him, but not for Nascar. His experience on streets js extensive. If it had been an oval circuit the result may very well have been quite different. Even Shane said that after the race. I am certain he would never say that yr drivers are are rubbish and I'm also certain he doesn't believe that. He is a humble man but a fierce competitor. He will always be fast in whatever he drives. We don't want to lose him from supercars but I'm sure he would love to go back to the USA. If he does I wish him luck as I believe your drivers are the benchmark racing ovals. Chicago was a world class event. Congratulations !
The rest of Motorsports world can drive in rain, except drag racing of course, and some can even run at night. NASCAR needs to continue this trend. First cup race I’ve watched in years. LeMans proved the cars can do it.
Go buy or steal a yard cart, you know nothing about NASCAR.
There's no need to race ovals in the rain. That's just stupid. In oval racing, the average lap speed is much higher than circuit/street courses and you are on the edge of traction for much longer portions of the track on an oval. But yes I agree for any circuit/road/street course, they should absolutely race in the wet.
@@Cynthesis21 IMSA runs in the rain at Daytona for the 24hr race. NASCAR has become boring the last decade or so. Watching the Cup boys run the Daytona road course might be interesting. The drivers and cars are fully capable now, time to see what they can really do.
It was a success against all odds
It sucked
I enjoyed this race much more than any recent Cup race it was good and I wonder if the tire barriers being full of water made the difference you're talking about
nascar should look at using the tec-pro barriers used in f1, it would stop the cars submarining under the tyres
Denny you have our admiration and respect. Don;t complain and make excuses.
looking at the astronomical tv ratings that just came out, you gotta agree that this was a success
It set the Streaming record for NASCAR on NBC as well, not mention all the other streams on the internet... I hope they think about going to the southern hemisphere again. Back to Suzuka like in the 90s, and a track like the Melborune Street Course would draw near 400k in attendance surely, especially with a few Super Car drivers in the field.. and alternate with a country like Brasil who has a big stock car culture as well.
The rain granted a pain in the ass they now have information for future races to make necessary changes.
You see the same thing all over the internet. You look like you're one of the cool kids when you pile onto Denny, or whatever the latest fad is.
Geez guys, be original, be authentic, don't 'roll with the crowd' to fit in.
I've never been a strong Hamlin fan, but he's earned his stripes and in his prime was always a threat. Show him some respect. Appreciate what a veteran has to say. Trust me, NASCAR listens to every word the veterans of the sport have to say.
To be fair, this kind of thing is to be expected for esp street racing. I thonght the event was great to see Nascar, on wets, on a street curcuit. props to them for commiting to getting it done given the conditons.
That, and it was a new thing for every driver. Well done nascar, and drivers.
Yes. Why? It was entertaining. First race I've watched in I can't remember how long. First NASCAR race my wife has ever watched. Are street courses the answer, not at all. But drivers playing pinball didn't hurt the entertainment factor. No stupid stage cautions to create boredom is a big reason. Different strategies moved the cars around (see no stupid boring stage cautions). Some people had more difficulty adapting to a changing track surface. It was like watching NASCAR from last century - it was entertaining. My wife couldn't name a driver if her life depended upon it yet she enjoyed sitting down and watching it. Caveat, we PVR'd it so fast fwd through the commercials that didn't have the racing insert. Also in Canada so we get the same three commercials every ad break.
Denny Hamlin, the official whine of NASCAR
It was great 👍 loved it ❤
I was there Saturday, but ended up not going Sunday because of the rain. I agreed with Denny, they were not racing in those conditions. I was waiting to for the right time to catch the train downtown. When I saw the flooding, ankle deep water and tires floating on pit road, I said no way this race starts so I guess I'll go Monday. But somehow it started and I already missed my opportunity to get the train down there. Watched on TV instead.
Glad to get clarification on the Bowman last-place finish. It was strange the engine basically detonated right after what seemed like a normal spin.
Bowman now owes Denny one, but Denny will cry
NASCAR is catching up to regular everyday drivers. We all go to work everyday regardless of the weather, rain, snow, ice and everything in between. I had an 80s HO Z-28 with wide oval tires. Impossible to drive but just had to do it to get 25 miles to work. NASCAR should get with the tire program and SVG showed the way regardless of the conditions. Loved the race.
Not a fair comparison by any means. You drive cautiously when there’s rain/snow, going below the speed limit, keeping more distance between cars, etc. Saying this as a Chicagoland native. Can’t compare that to 40 cars flying past each other at 150mph+
Thank you. My point is about car control regardless of the conditions. The best will win and yes race speed will be different but exceptional drivers should be able to complete and make it interesting what ever the conditions. Let them show us how great they can be, over us mortals. Cheers.
Stock car racing use to be about who could build the fastest car , and endure driving it 500miles half out of control. They were always heavy machines with smaller tires than open wheen racing machines. They push in turns , steering right to go left. Way to much horse power than able to stick to the track.
I feel Nascar died when they started restricting horse power.
Only racing I can stand to watch are super lates, and sprints.
Already told myself , if you go to a Nascar race , you will probably not enjoy yourself.
Another thing, that always kind of struck me as odd. Why do people really go to road course races. If you can't see the whole track? I like being able to see what is going on everywhere. Not just see the cars go by .
No complaints about the fellow Kiwi. He did what he came to do . Hats off to him.
I will be honest when I first heard they were going to Chicago I was so shocked but on every level I think it was a success even with the rain Congratulations Nascar 👍💯
I was just watching to see how many times Martin Truex Jr would spin or hit the wall.
Who wrecked more, Truex or Noah.
when i looked at the rain tires on tv, i said to myself, "those aren't really rain tires, more like intermediates" . It was a great race though. i was thoroughly entertained
the drain grates have a designed gpm and it’s designed to flood 1/2 of a one on either shoulder typically. we design to 10,25,50 and 100yr storms… it’s the grate capacity typically the results in what you saw
**1/2 a lane
Oh and by the way public roads are made to get rid of water so you being surprised surprises me
Sorry to say that SVG within a very short time will totally dominate ovals .I give him several oval outings to get used to it .and than watch out Championship in 2nd full year .Most supporters think NASCAR drivers are the best.unfortually they are not .
This was one of the best NASCAR I've ever watched I hope they go there again I loved it
Get rid of the caution at the end of the stage. Just keep racing. Let the team who is in first place at the end of the stage know they won that stage but keep racing.
They've done that on road courses all year long, have you not been watching?
They already do that on road courses
😂
Despite the rain, it was an entertaining race.
The rain was the only reason this race was entertaining
Awesome race. The crowd roaring and water spray. Reminded me of late 90's/early 00's motorsport.
Yes,late 90's sucked, the 90's in general sucked, and we can tell now, it's evident
Love the honesty, Denny likes to bs on this show
Incredible race. Reminds me of F1 and the Rolex 24. Keep it raining. All weathers!
I was glued to the tv
awesome race
Can you guys PLEASE have a two or three second outro on these videos ?? I hate when it automatically plays another as one ends.
Quite crying Denny Shane didn't have any problems
Only had 16 better lap tires then everyone that's all
It’s all about personal gain over anything and anyone else’s despair.$$$$$$$$$$$….
They took the race off in east Pa and NJ and out of news tornado coverage that never happened. I was surprised they started so quickly I seen the track
2 or 2 1/2 hours of full screen weather tracking !! Not top or bottom alert ribbon like any other station !
Good thing it was a Hendrick car you spun out, and on the plus side it was Alex Bowman! It's always ok for Denny to spin people out! You just better never touch him! This guy makes me laugh! What a cry baby!
Does anyone complaining about Denny watch these videos and listen to what he says? I assume these are the same people that cry about NASCAR and then don’t watch but act like they know everything that happened
I hope that it's a one off event and they go back to a real road course
The rain made the race fun to watch. Otherwise nope! No thanks unless they can guarantee rain everytime they race there.
The race sucked. NASCAR was just trying to appeal to Millenial gamers with an urban street race.
Agree
I agree they need better drainage but I enjoyed the race next year will be better
That was in the top 5 of races in the last 5 years
I think when a race starts late like that and is going to get dark. they should put a time clock and have it count down and then add one lap think it would make it very interesting
That looks like an Adidas hat...MJ like WTF
I don't know who came up with the idea to start the race at 5:00, but it was stupid!
I would think the window of time the city of Chicago allowed had a lot to do with that.
Those cars aren't built and designed for that type of racing, its dumd as wearing a long sleeve hoodie in August ,in the state of FLORIDA
The problem with racing on Chicago streets: no delays are allowed. NASCAR should have left Saturday or figure something for delays. Wondering how they prevented drive byes last weekend.
if they do this again they better have the fire dept wet down the streets as that is why the race was interesting
This race should have been held at Road America
They weren’t going to call it because they had so much money invested and they would’ve caused chaos by keeping the streets closed an extra day.
I think Bubba should have won Denny M.J is your cash cow ...
The ONLY thing that saved this race from being a total disaster is seeing SVG at the end, catch and pass the leaders. Even on TV you could see the speed he was carrying into the corners and the late braking. It was a clinic.
Oh it was a great race. Full of drama good racing and some bad racing. It was good to see a outsider win.
its was like watching a race where i was just waiting for understeer into the tires.. just my opinion
DANG DENNY !!!!
This is the 2nd time now. Stop freaking worrying about where Kyle Busch finishes. 😂 You should of hired Randall instead of Tyler. 😏
"Crazy sturdy" AKA.. Volvo like..
I understand the reactions of the NASCAR drivers because they are not used to actually having to use driving skills…I think SVG gave them all a wake-up call…yes ovals and the speeds and stream shot they rely on take time to understand but you can’t beat down and out someone that is better 😊
NASCAR: more street circuits! These drivers were great there.
It has been my experience that biting the hand that feeds you leaves you hungry.
Would have ❤to have been there!
I’ve done all 3 rain delays at Fontana which cost us our Chase Race!
FYI: I called the local FFD and ain’t nothing been demolished yet?
Hmmm, ain’t no Cup 2024 Schedule out yet either 🤭
Why does NASCAR allow ringer drivers to come in and compete with all of the full time drivers that are there everyday all season to compete for the championship points and cheat fulltime drivers out of points? Does SVG get win points for this race and guarantee a place in the championship? I would like to hear from others on this issue, IDK.
The drainage is designed to keep some on the streets not to overflow the system I believe.
The system, y'all's "system" sucks. It's no NASCAR, y'all killing the sport,
Fun race, the only thing that bummed me out was byron and harvick clogging everything up in stage 3. My boy C. Bell had a great run. O well Thats racing.
Something I wish NASCAR would look at is the shorter race. When a driver realizes there's not much time to get it done. The level of racing goes up. This race all on dry full length would have been boring. My fear is they run it again next year without the rain, full length, and it becomes a snooze fest. Denny going on and on about making it a perfect dry surface, ugh. Yes driving a car on dry is easier. Please keep the element of surprise alive but letting things be less then perfect. Something we all toon in for is the surprise when something doesn't go perfect.
Every week nascar and the drivers feel they must give an opinion on all the media outlets. If there are problems discuss in house.
Thats chicago drainage and sanitation for you. We're pretty prepared for this kind of stuff and need a good drainage system otherwise the city would flood in the winter from melting snow
NASCAR communication around the weather delays was total crap. Complete disrespect to the fans and racers. Race was great
Street courses are a bad idea unless you can keep that course until Monday or Tuesday. I am sure it took a lot to shut down and clean up!
According to the M.S.M. it was a Soldout Event like every race so far. But looking in the Stands you see Endless Empty seats.
Beer gardens
Just because all tickets are bought doesn’t mean everyone shows up
@@RowingFrontal5 M.S.M. has said every race has Sold Out but everyone knows how UNTRUTHFUL they are.
Sold out 1k tickets😂
I was impressed with svs smooth car management wile carrying speed everywhere . Never abusing the car, short shifting ,the chevrolet had torque down low and solid hellbent hp jup top!
No one says that you run races in dangerous wet conditions but with street races it costs so much to block of the streets so drivers will have to get used to racing in conditions that they would not normally do. I am not a big fan of street circuits' as its like racing in a tunnel but if it brings people in to watch then it will have to be run with or the sport will die. If guys want to see how to run in the wet just follow Shane or any other supercars drivers or European drivers in the race and they will show you how.
Street racing threes enough really it’s one too many.
It was an engine issue for Bowman. His spin didn’t cause him to have the DNF.
Yes it did. The spin put the car into oil protection mode, which caused no oil pressure which led to a detonation of the engine. Bowman owes Denny one. Hopefully this weekend at Atlanta.
@@seanschadegg1133Just one of the hazards of racing in wet conditions. Sucks that it happened
A wheeehhh denny says😂
That was one of the worst races I have ever seen very little passing until the end I've been a Nascar fan for 20 years and that truly was the worst race I've ever seen I don't know why anybody would liked it it was no passing unless there was a caution or somebody wrecked in front of them
Because people aren’t as miserable as you are and can appreciate seeing drivers have to drive with skill and appreciate seeing NASCAR race in the rain and on a street course which wouldn’t have been possible before this year. But that doesn’t matter to folks like you CLAUDE
I watched one driver have absolutely zero problems passing other drivers on each part of the course.
WhaWhaWha
Denny Hamlin is a big baby! He isn't even a CHAMPION!! Denny is a dirty driver he makes Joey logano look like a Saint. Chase Elliott didn't deserve the suspension. Denny your getting old go away.
lol ur the big baby, this comment is funny to look at on how clueless it is
@ejr6309yt I'm not clueless! You are Denny is the biggest piece of crap. He has been racing all these years and he is not a champion! Oh am I wrong about that! You should stick to what you know NOTHING
Quit crying Denny
Perfect example of everything wrong with nascar these days. Don’t like the danger- fine, go drive a delivery truck for rest of your life - but just be aware that no one is going to pay you $10million a year to do that. They literally all whine like this about everything, the racing is too sanitized and we just don’t have many likable or entertaining drivers anymore.
@@italianstallion3130 Denny Hamlin is far from boring.
@@italianstallion3130 like Dale Sr said if you're scared soak some rags in kerosene tie them around your ankles so the piss ants won't crawl up and eat your candy ass 🤣
@bighand1530 he is also far from being a NASCAR champion😂
Thanks for saying you didn't watch the video
Only one car was passing people. But it’s a success 🙄
The bar for NASCAR is set pretty low now.
Yes it was a success
When are you gonna teach your black driver how to race or did you teach him all your talent and he's showing all he was taught
Racing with wet tires and cars sliding into the tire barriers and continues. Then street course ringer SVG winning the cup race. I say it was good but without the controversial decisions.
Hate rain racing, but it's a street course so nascar can't postpone the race. They put themselves in a box.
So 1 pass at the end of the race makes it a good one to watch? Just like the Rovol first race one had Johnson driving beyond his skill level on the last lap it was declared a great race when nothing happened 99.9% of the race before that last corner.
The race was a flop!!!!
Well, at least Chicago is extremely safe for anybody to go there because of their restrictions on amendments in that city....
And I'm still waiting for some highlights to watch of the race.
Been to that town to many times as a truck driver, not impressed with the safety of that town. Especially for the last 10 years.
Detroit road course next
Indycar-Nascar double header at the new Detroit course?
@@izzdin6228 dope idea
@@izzdin6228 and then truck series and XFINITY series
The race was much better than I thought it would be, race was good, once again Denny failed, took more cars into the wall like he always does, make sick to listen to him doing what he does best wining and bawling, same for everybody crybaby.
another hendrick crybaby found smh
They should at least have a few more street races. No more than that.
