Hi, the NASCAR event is at Chicagoland Raceway (see:
http://www.nascarracetickets.com/chi..._speedway.htm). Chicagoland Speedway is located in Joliet, IL just outside Chicago. I'm sorry if Chicago-ans are offended, but I didn't pick the name of the race track and could only assume Chicagoland meant Chicago.
Also, I never said redneck is the same as blue collar and I don't think badly of either. There are many proud rednecks, and there's some funny redneck comics (they call themselves that, and I laugh at their jokes, thus I think they are quite funny).
NASCAR sponsorship is BIG business. I found the below:

While owners in the NASCAR garage typically won't divulge the specific dollar figures involved, it's been reported that Nextel Cup teams get between $10 million to $20 million from sponsors for the primary spots on their cars.
Richard Childress, who fields cars in all three of NASCAR's national series, has stated that even beyond primary sponsorship, some associates may put up $500,000 to $1 million for secondary spots on the car.
