NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race ended Sunday, but some roads around Grant Park won’t reopen until the middle of July.
Balbo Drive reopens July 13, the last street to be cleared, according to NASCAR’s own schedule.

Portions of DuSable Lake Shore Drive, Michigan Avenue and Roosevelt Road are slated to reopen between Sunday and Wednesday.
