Summary
NASCAR’s Cup Series returns to Chicagoland Speedway for the first time since 2019, throwing a wild card into the mix as half the field has never raced there in a Cup car. With no Next Gen car runs under their belts and a track known for long green-flag runs and strategic pit calls, the race could hinge on tire management and late-race moves. Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, and Tyler Reddick are top contenders, while road course specialists like Shane van Gisbergen and Joey Logano may struggle. The In-Season Challenge bracket could see some upsets, with matchups like Hamlin vs. his opponent looking lopsided, while Larson vs. Byron could be a nail-biter. Can a savvy strategist rise to the top—or will history repeat itself?
