Summary
Chicagoland Speedway is roaring back after a three-year hiatus, but don’t expect nostalgia—this is a whole new beast. The Next Gen Cup Series car brings radical upgrades, fresh teams are in the mix, and even veteran drivers admit old tricks won’t cut it. The track’s signature drop in Turn One and unpredictable surface are forcing everyone to rethink their lines and setups. Tyler Reddick’s practice session proved past experience is no longer a shortcut. Higher lanes are emerging as key, and Denny Hamlin, who got a sneak peek during a tire test in April, starts from the front row again. With new cars, new teams, and a track that defies predictability, Sunday’s race is anyone’s for the taking.
