NASCAR is marking the Fourth of July weekend with a celebrated return to Chicagoland Speedway, bringing together fans and drivers for a three‑day festival of racing that underscores the series’ holiday tradition.
Weekend Schedule Overview
The program spans Friday through Sunday, offering a mix of on‑track sessions and headline races across the ARCA Menards Series, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the premier Cup Series.
On Friday evening the ARCA Menards Series will run the Ashley Furniture 150 at 8:00 p.m., kicking off the action with a 150‑lap battle on the 1.5‑mile intermediate layout.
Sunday’s climax is the NASCAR Cup Series’ eero 400, scheduled for 6:00 p.m., while the Truck Series will not be part of the weekend’s lineup.
Track Characteristics
Chicagoland Speedway measures 1.5 miles around an asphalt surface that blends an 18‑degree banking in the turns with 11 degrees on the Tri‑Oval and a modest 5‑degree tilt on the backstretch, a configuration designed for high‑speed competition.
Broadcast partners will carry live coverage across the weekend, giving viewers multiple angles to experience the racing action from the Illinois venue.
