Chicagoland Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway will each undergo a facelift before the Cup Series heads to the two tracks in 2026, NASCAR executive Ben Kennedy says.

NASCAR will return to Joliet’s Chicagoland Speedway in July 2026, with three days of racing over the holiday weekend. The announcement comes after officials confirmed the Chicago Street Race would not return that year.

NASCAR will have a new street race in San Diego, while North Wilkesboro and Chicagoland host points races for the first time in years

Chicagoland is reopening after a six-year hiatus and a switch back to the suburban track after three seasons on a temporary street circuit in downtown Chicago.
