The race will be broadcast live on USA Network.
Saturday’s race on the 2.2-mile, 12-turn course through the Grant Park area of downtown Chicago was the first street race in series history.“Due to the potential for continued lightning strikes and in the interest of public safety and caution, the facility needed to be evacuated. NASCAR had hoped to resume activities, but not until city officials allowed fans to return to the grandstands.
“The forecast for lightning extends into the next several hours, forcing NASCAR to postpone the completion of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race until tomorrow morning.”
