Read between the lines of this post, NASCAR race shaping up to be a disruptive and economic disaster for Chicago. We mean think about it. Here we are with the worst air in Chicago history lingering as a race with dozens of race cars spewing even more exhaust in the heat dominates Lake Shore Drive as city traffic forced into smaller corridors compressing even more exhaust into those streets backed up with the overflow traffic from the re routes.This post clearly shows the real fans NOT embracing coming in by virtue of abundance of somewhat affordable hotel rooms available over a holiday weekend when you would think they would have pulled the trigger months ago to make their plans and reserve.We doubt that there will be many who pick up the slack in the next few days but you never know.We also posted the total and complete NASCAR centric rip off prices being charged for a six pack of beer below for your amusement.
