Chicagoland Returns With High Stakes | Nascar News

NASCAR’s Cup Series returns to Chicagoland Speedway this Sunday — its first visit since 2019 — where the rough, bumpier 1.5-mile track will test drivers’ skill as they adapt to the Next Gen car’s handling. With just eight races left before the playoffs, contenders like Kyle Larson, Tyler Reddick, and Ryan Blaney are primed to make moves. Larson, despite a winless streak, leads laps on similar tracks and qualified second; Reddick brings strong recent form, while Blaney’s hot streak and past success here add to the intrigue. Denny Hamlin is the top pick to win, with Larson and Elliott close behind — a high-stakes showdown awaits as drivers battle the track’s quirks and playoff pressure.
