Shane van Gisbergen completed a sweep on the Chicago Street Course this past weekend, winning both the Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series races on the tricky downtown circuit.

Greenberg wrote a story on Sunday evening for the Chicago Sun-Times criticizing NASCAR and the street race, saying NASCAR has a way of "... t aking up the entire best part of downtown, forcing us to take weird, annoying alternate routes just to avoid you."

Mayor Brandon Johnson said Tuesday he is open to bringing the NASCAR Chicago Street Race back, but only after including more people in discussions about a contract extension than when former Mayor Lori Lightfoot agreed to the original deal.
