Chicagoland Speedway

Joliet, Ill.

chicagolandspeedway.com

It will take quite a bit of concentration, but it's actually possible to distinguish this track from its own clone in Kansas. Chicagoland's back straight is ever so slightly curved, while the Kansas straight is, amazingly, straight. Chicagoland is a vast area, and as a result, you'll see more grain elevators than skyscrapers in the background. The Windy City is quite a hike. Moviegoers may remember that Jake and Elwood, the Blues Brothers, were paroled from the prison in Joliet. It's no garden spot.
