Pit Pass Network Predictions: Chicago Street Race & Mid-Ohio

This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series take on the streets of Chicago for the first time ever. No matter your thoughts on the event, it will surely be memorable.

Meanwhile, IndyCar heads to Lexington, Ohio to race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Before we look at the predictions for this weekend, let’s give a round of applause to those who guessed correctly for Nashville Superspeedway:

Mark Matthews correctly picked both Ross Chastain to win the Cup race and Carson Hocevar to win the Truck race. Jake Finch also picked Hocevar to win the Truck race, while Robert Hill, Jr. had Hocevar as his longshot for the Truck race. Congrats guys!
