A 47-year-old man is facing charges after allegedly driving a Chevrolet Corvette onto the NASCAR Chicago Street Course on Saturday night, reports the Chicago Sun Times.
The incident occurred after race officials stopped the Xfinity Series The Loop 121 race due to bad weather and signs of a lightning storm. The race initially paused at around 5 PM and was called off two hours later.

Authorities say the yellow and red sports car gained access around 9 PM.
