LIMITED TO JUST 15 DOUBLE TICKETS!!!
Here’s a chance for motorsport fans to be in the heart of the action at the 2025 edition of Chicago’s NASCAR race weekend!
Join us on a high-octane, 26 day tour that kicks off at full bore; you’re straight down trackside and into prime ‘reserved’ seating at this 12-turn, 3.6 kilometre street circuit.
Feel the slipstream as these V8 monsters kick up a storm in the Windy City!
That the course includes a section of fabled Route 66 is appropriate, because when the racing and the partying is done, you’ll be heading across America’s ‘Mother Road’ for an amazing, 21 day road-trip to Los Angeles via the Grand Canyon, along with THREE great nights in Fabulous Las Vegas!
This fantastic tour commences on July 2nd upon check-in at your Chicago Hotel.
Enjoy some free days exploring Chicago, along with the opportunity to be part of the July 4th / Independence Day celebrations throughout the city!
Saturday and Sunday is all about the Racing! TWO brilliant days in outstanding reserved seats provide effortless viewing of both days of racing.
Once the weekend of NASCAR racing is over – you’ll collect your rental car and set off for Los Angeles – via historic Route 66, enjoying 21 nights across heartland America!
