The 34-year-old van Gisbergen, a New Zealand native, got a chance to drive the No. 91 Chevrolet in Chicago as part of Trackhouse Racing's Project 91 . The goal for the team is expanding its global reach. The race was scheduled for 100 laps and 220 miles, but it was shortened because of fading sunlight after the start was delayed for more 90 minutes because of a historic rainfall that flooded the course. The last half of the Xfinity Race, set to resume after it was suspended Saturday because of lightning, was canceled. Many people are asking "why Chicago?" when it comes to the first NASCAR Street Race.
The weather eventually cleared up, but there were puddles on the course when the race began. Even as it started to dry out - and teams started breaking out their slick tires - water splashed everywhere whenever a driver slid into a tire barrier.
