Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois Hometown Heroes Track Walk: Chicago

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois honored 15 members of the Chicago Police Department, the Chicago Fire Department and the Chicago Department of Street and Sanitation with a Hometown Heroes Track Walk on the Friday of the Chicago Street Race Weekend. The hometown heroes were chosen for their bravery on the job and dedication to the city of Chicago. They were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at how the city's streets were converted into a NASCAR track, met with 23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace and had their names featured on the decklid of Wallace's No. 23 Toyota. The heroes also received passes to the race and music festival. Scroll through to see photos of the special occasion, and be sure to thank your local heroes when you see them.
