Lightfoot Stands Firm on NASCAR Race Agreement as Transparency Questioned – NBC5 (Chicago)

The deal between NASCAR and the city of Chicago, which was announced without any debate, gives NASCAR access to Grant Park from June 22 to July 5; Use of the impacted area will cost the racing company $500,000. Critics assert that's far less than what Lollapalooza organizers pay. When asked, Lightfoot said, "trying to compare Lolla and NASCAR doesn't make sense."
