NASCAR and Major League officials to punish the agencies have long maintained that the untapped market of Chicago is perhaps the most profitable of the country. Race to build a major highway in Windy City took its first step to becoming a reality during an informal meeting between Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Tony George and Bill France in late 1995.
