Unfortunately I don't have it with me and it's been awhile (so I'm
forgetting the details) but I've installed drracket on my Acer chromebook
that I run Ubuntu 14.04 on.  I run it simultaneous with ChromeOS via
"crouton".

I was thinking I installed with apt-get the first time, and later realized
that was not the latest version, so I re-installed using the Ubuntu shell
script from http://download.racket-lang.org/ that Asumu just mentioned.
