Our Pick
Posted on @rawstates
Chicagoland Speedway
2001
Joliet, Illinois
NASCAR, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Menards went looking for somewhere near Chicago to build an intermediate oval, and after proposals at DuPage Airport and Plano fell through they settled on Joliet. The 1.52-mile tri-oval opened in July 2001 and the first Cup race ran that same month.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
