A Comeback at Chicagoland
Hyak Motorsports is set to make its mark on the NASCAR Cup Series this weekend as it fields the No. 47 Chevrolet for driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., marking the series' return to Chicagoland Speedway after a seven‑year absence.
The car will be sponsored by Pylon Aviation, which continues its partnership with the team as the primary backer of the No. 47 entry, underscoring the growing role of aviation services in motorsport.
A Track With History
Stenhouse, who captured a victory at this very track in 2012 alongside crew chief Mike Kelley, expressed excitement about returning to a venue that holds personal significance for both him and his team.
The Challenge of the Track
Chicagoland Speedway is renowned for its concrete surface that has aged over the years, producing a series of characteristic bumps that demand a delicate balance between outright speed and car stability.
Multiple racing grooves near the outer wall create opportunities for side‑by‑side competition, making track position a critical factor in qualifying and pit‑road strategy.
The eero 400 is scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, with live coverage available on TNT, giving fans a prime viewing slot to watch the action unfold.
