NASCAR Reveals Landmark Integration With Fortnite’s Rocket Racing
NASCAR has announced a first-of-its-kind link-up with Fortnite with the arrival of the all-new Chicago Street Course map in Rocket Racing, the latest and most popular side mode that is a key part of Fortnite’s ecosystem. It’s been six months since Rocket Racing was released in Fortnite alongside the Fortnite Festival, a Guitar Hero-like mode that was a runaway hit.
With the recent announcement, NASCAR confirmed that more activations will be making their way into the Fortnite landscape, but it all starts with the Chicago Street Course.

The Chicago Street Course map allows players to navigate multiple routes, master the art of speed, drift, and avoid obstacles in intense multiplayer races or solo time trials. The launch comes ahead of the real-life Chicago Street Race at Grant Park on July 6-7, offering fans and new players an immersive preview of the event.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we have exciting plans to bring more NASCAR elements to the Fortnite platform. Stay tuned for new tracks, licensed vehicles and other immersive experiences that connect with our fans in innovative ways.
It is available on all platforms in single-player and multiplayer formats, and it combines ‘the excitement of real-world NASCAR events with the dynamic gameplay mechanics of Rocket Racing’.
Over time, more and more brands are finding their way into the Fortnite ecosystem with custom creations. UEFN is just the beginning, and the 2.0 version has widened the landscape with the unparalleled possibilities it offers. If Fortnite’s years of partnering with Marvel, DC, Netflix and all sorts of super-sized corporations weren’t enough, the new model now allows brands to set up their presence on Fortnite and utilize the platform. A free marketing opportunity.
