Chicago Motor Speedway

Chicago Motor Speedway is a oval circuit located in the town of Cicero, state of Illinois, United States, on the outskirts of the city ​​of Chicago. It was built in 1999 at the initiative of Charles Bidwell and Chip Ganassi. It had a traditional design of two bends of just 6 degrees cant, connected by two relatively long straights, with a length of 1,029 miles (1,656 meters). Due to the consequences of the dot-com crisis in American motorsports, the Chicago Motor Speedway facility was closed in 2003 and later completely demolished.

The oval housed a CART series date from 1999 to 2002, accompanied by the Indy Lights in 1999 and 2000 and by the Atrlantic Formula in 1999 and 2001. There, scenes of the movie Driven, which is about CART, were filmed. Additionally, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series visited the track in 2000 and 2001.
