Return to Chicagoland: Interview with Ben Maier

NASCAR Returns to Chicagoland! For the first time since 2019, NASCAR is back at the fast 1.5-mile oval of Chicagoland Speedway—and it was well worth the wait! After six years away, the fans packed the grandstands as all three series returned to one of the sport's most exciting intermediate tracks. ARCA Series: Friday night kicked off the weekend as the ARCA stars took to the track, looking to make the first trip back to Victory Lane at Chicagoland since the series' return. O'Reilly Auto Parts Series: Saturday night belonged to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, where the next generation of NASCAR stars battled under the lights, all hoping to conquer Chicagoland's fast racing grooves. Cup Series: Then came Sunday's main event—a 400-mile showdown featuring the NASCAR Cup Series. Former Chicagoland winners Denny Hamlin, Alex Bowman, and Brad Keselowski looked to add another trophy to their collection, while the rest of the field hoped to make history by winning NASCAR's long-awaited return to the Windy City area.
