Re: anyone familiar with Chicago/Joliet area
Closest airport to the track would be Midway. Also much easier to "work with" than O'Hare. Kinda the home airport for Southwest, so think about using them. A number of hotels and motels relatively close to the track, but don't shop by price, because Joliet is not a very nice city and the cheap motels will be inhabited by creatures you won't want to interact with. In other words, pay a little extra and you won't get mugged or spend the night listening to jungle drums.
