NASCAR has raced on the streets of Chicago the past three years. Beginning next year, it'll be the streets around San Diego's naval base.

NASCAR is pausing the Chicago street race because it needs more time to try to reschedule the event and reduce the build-out and breakdown of the pop-up racecourse.

NASCAR is hitting pause on its Chicago Street Race for a year, officials said. In a statement, NASCAR officials said they will not be returning to the Loop for the Chicago Street Race in 2026 "to afford us the time necessary to work collaboratively with the City of Chicago."
