And it's expected to bring a big economic boost to the city.
"This event is going to spotlight Chicago on the national stage, on the international state. We're going to get millions of impressions of our city, our beautiful lakefront, and it's going to provide over $100 million a year of economic impact," said Samir Mayekar, Chicago deputy mayor of Economic and Neighborhood Development.
On Wednesday, NASCAR officials held a ribbon-cutting for their new Chicago office, located in 2 Prudential Plaza.
NASCAR said two-day reserved tickets start at $465, and the street race offers an array of opportunities that include reserved seating and a variety of premium experiences.
