City and NASCAR officials released their traffic plans for the 2025 Chicago Street Race being held in and around Grand Park on July 5 and 6.

Officials said they've been able to trim nearly two weeks off the amount of time they'll need to build the set-up, reducing traffic impacts on Chicago residents.
