"NASCAR Street Race in Chicago Drenched by Heavy Rains, Forces Early Finish"

Heavy rains caused flooding in Chicago, leading to impassable roads, overflowing creeks, and flooded basements. The National Weather Service issued warnings, and parts of major highways were closed due to flooding. NASCAR officials canceled the last half of an Xfinity Series race and declared Cole Custer the winner. The Cup Series race started later in the day, with Shane Van Gisbergen winning. The Chicago Cubs' game was also delayed. The storm system's slow movement and the city's concrete infrastructure contributed to the flooding.
