Chicago Motor Speedway

In 2002 the 1.029-mile (1.656 km) oval shaped track suspended operations due to financial conditions in the motorsports industry.

Hawthorne Race Course, located right across the street to the south from the track, is the current host of the Illinois Derby.

Problems with the hard surface led to several scratches by trainers and races being canceled.

Portions of the motion picture Driven were shot at Chicago Motor Speedway.

The fastest official race lap records at Chicago Motor Speedway are listed as:
