The Chicago weekend
NASCAR is set to make its long‑awaited comeback at Chicago Speedway, bringing the eero 400 to Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, from July 3 through July 5.
The weekend will serve as the second round of the series’ in‑season challenge, a format that clusters competitive events to keep momentum high for teams and fans alike.
Alex Bowman, who captured the 2019 edition of the race, is aiming to add a second consecutive victory, a feat that would underscore his recent strong performances.
Tyler Reddick, who slipped to second in the Cup Series standings after being upset by Bowman, will look to reclaim his position as the championship picture begins to crystallize.
Veteran competitors such as Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott are also expected to contend, adding depth to a field that includes rising talents like Ty Gibbs and seasoned drivers like Brad Keselowski.
Beyond the on‑track action, the event highlights NASCAR’s expanding footprint across the United States, with the schedule stretching from the deserts of Arizona to the historic tracks of North Carolina.
