The American auto-racing giant is expected to draw thousands of fans who plan to eat, drink, and cheer their way through the inaugural event. Here are four Chicago spots to celebrate all things NASCAR. (via eaterchicago)
NASCAR Pit Party at Millennium Hall, 11 N. Michigan Avenue, Millennium Park
Located just steps from the NASCAR Chicago Street Race course, this food hall in the Loop will feature front-row seats to all the fanfare over the weekend with floor-to-ceiling TVs broadcasting the race, a massive Double Clutch beer garden, giveaways, and raffles with prizes. There will also be a special “pit menu” from Chicago chef Michael “Wally” Wallach with casual comfort food like barbecue brisket, pulled pork, and “pit stop” beans, according to a rep.
Racing fans can get up close and personal with professional stock car racing driver Austin Dillion on Saturday, July 1 at Chicago street food heavyweight Portillo’s near the border of South Loop and Little Italy. While Portillo’s is never short on Italian beef or Chicago-style hot dogs, the chain will only hand out 200 wristbands for the meet-and-greet, which guarantees a meeting and autograph signing with Dillon. Attendees will also get a chance to take photos with the Coca-Cola Show Car.
