NASCAR fans share their perfect tailgate beverage
What are you drinking when you watch NASCAR? Mackenzie Salmon is at the USA TODAY 301 and she collected an impressive list of beverages from fans in New Hampshire.
For the second time, NASCAR heads to the “Second City.”
In 2023, drivers started their engines on the streets of Chicago. As is the case with best-laid plans, the 2023 Grant Park 220 had a bit of a monkey wrench thrown into it: Mother Nature got involved, with the start of the race delayed due to rain, and darkness led to the shortening of the race to 75 laps.
In his NASCAR Cup Series debut, Shane van Gisbergen took home the checkered flag, holding off Justin Haley and Chase Elliot en route to his first podium and his first win. “SVG” became the first driver in modern NASCAR history to win his debut.
This year, van Gisbergen won’t be have an opportunity to defend his win, but the drama on the street circuit should match what we saw last year.
