One full weekend of cooperative weather would be nice. You could even call it a parting gift if you like. That's right, this is looking like it'll be the final Chicago Street Race — the third installment of NASCAR's original three-year contract with the city.

TNT takes over for NBC, which aired the race the last two years. Before debuting last week in Atlanta, TNT hadn’t carried a NASCAR race since 2014.

With the Fourth of July and the annual NASCAR Chicago Street Race making for a jam-packed few days ahead, Chicagoans can expect a hot — and potentially stormy — holiday weekend.
