The Chainsmokers and Miranda Lambert will headline full-length concerts during the Chicago Street Race, the first race of its kind on the NASCAR Cup Series

NASCAR Announces Concert Performers for Chicago Street Race

NASCAR said The Chainsmokers and Miranda Lambert will headline full-length concerts with the support of The Black Crowes and Charley Crockett for the first-ever street race in the NASCAR Cup Series, the Chicago Street Race, on July 1-2.  

The 12-turn, 2.2-mile street race will take the Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series past and through many of Chicago’s most renowned downtown landmarks as part of a two-day festival. 

“The Chicago Street Race is truly a first-of-its-kind two-day sports and entertainment event in the 75-year history of NASCAR,” said Chicago Street Race president Julie Giese. “We are proud to welcome superstars The Chainsmokers, Miranda Lambert, The Black Crowes and Charley Crockett as we reimagine the NASCAR experience in the heart of downtown Chicago over Fourth of July weekend.” 

The two-day race is the first of three annual events in a partnership between NASCAR and the City of Chicago announced last July.
