The 13th Annual Teen X-Stream Push Kart Derby, sponsored by the Chicago Park District, is set to take place at Grant Park, offering a unique opportunity for over 100 students from grades 8 to 10. This year marks a historic first as the event will be held on the grounds of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race, where the third annual street race is scheduled for July 5-6. Participants, who have built their own push karts at Chicago Park District summer camps, will compete in a series of heats leading to the finals, with winners receiving tickets to the NASCAR Chicago Street Race.
The event not only highlights the creativity and teamwork of Chicago's youth but also bridges the gap between local community initiatives and major sporting events, providing the teens with an unforgettable experience. The inclusion of the Push Kart Derby in such a prestigious location underscores the Chicago Park District's commitment to offering innovative and engaging programs for its youth.
