Carson Hocevar caused a seven-car pileup to open the NASCAR Chicago street race. Hocevar clipped the inside of the turn 11 curve, ricocheting him to the outside wall on turn 11 on lap 3 of the Grant Park 165 street race in Chicago. Hocevar crashed off the outside wall and moved up to the inside before twisting back toward the outside wall.

The NASCAR Cup Series hits Chicago for a street-course race through the city, which will also serve as the second round of the In-Season Challenge.

As NASCAR's Chicago Street Race embarks on its third, and perhaps final, edition, drivers spoke fondly about the experiment's legacy.
