NASCAR Chicago Street Race slashes ticket prices for 2025

NASCAR has announced a major reduction in ticket prices for the 2025 Chicago Street Race, making the event more affordable for fans while also enhancing accessibility for families. Scheduled for July 5-6 in Grant Park, the race will see price cuts across all ticket tiers, with some seats costing nearly 50% less than last year.

Single-day "Grounds Passes" now start at $99, a significant drop from the previous year's $150. Two-day general admission tickets have been reduced to $150, down from $269 in 2024. Reserved seating options begin at $199, with Frontstretch Premier Grandstand seats now priced at $350—almost half of last year’s cost. As an additional incentive for families, NASCAR is offering free Grounds Passes for children aged 12 and under throughout the entire race weekend when accompanied by a ticketed adult. In 2024, this offer was only available for Saturday admission, making the 2025 race even more family-friendly.

The 2025 event will feature the same 12-turn, 2.2-mile course, taking drivers through some of Chicago’s most iconic streets, including Columbus Drive, DuSable Lake Shore Drive, and Michigan Avenue. A key logistical change this year involves relocating all premium hospitality areas to the east side of Columbus Drive near Buckingham Fountain. NASCAR officials say this adjustment will help reduce the park's overall setup and teardown time by more than a week, minimizing disruptions to the public.

Tickets on sale now. Fans interested in securing their spots can purchase tickets and find additional information on the official NASCAR Chicago website.

By lowering ticket prices and refining event logistics, NASCAR aims to make the Chicago Street Race more accessible, enjoyable and community-friendly in 2025.
