where do the nascar teams park their aircraft in chicago

The most likely answer is Lewis University Airport (LOT) in Romeoville or Chicago Midway (MDW) , depending on the team’s travel plan and aircraft size. A NASCAR forum listing specifically names Lewis University Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport as airports used for the Chicagoland race area, and a race-aviation video notes teams park at their FBO when arriving for events.

What that means

Teams usually do not park aircraft right at the street course or the track itself. Instead, they use a nearby airport and then move crew members by van or bus to the circuit, which is the usual setup for NASCAR travel logistics.

Chicago-area options

• Lewis University Airport (LOT) , in the southwest suburbs, is a commonly cited private-aviation option for NASCAR teams in the Chicago race market.

• Chicago Midway (MDW) is another airport mentioned in the same forum discussion, especially for larger or more schedule-dependent travel.

• The teams then use the airport’s FBO/general aviation facilities rather than a public parking lot in downtown Chicago.

Practical takeaway

For a Chicago NASCAR weekend, the aircraft are generally parked at a nearby general-aviation airport , not in the city center. If you mean the modern Chicago Street Course specifically, the same basic pattern applies: airport first, ground transport second.

TL;DR: Most likely LOT, sometimes MDW, and they’re parked at the airport/FBO rather than “in Chicago” itself.
