Tire Strategy at Joliet Speedway | Nascar News

NASCAR’s back in Chicagoland for a high-octane weekend at Joliet Speedway, with both the Cup Series and OReilly Auto Parts Series hitting the track. The Cup Series races Sunday night, while the OReilly Series kicks off Saturday afternoon — and with Friday practice canceled, Saturday becomes practice day, forcing the starting lineup to follow NASCAR’s official rulebook instead of speed. Drivers in both series must manage limited tire allocations: Cup drivers get 12 sets (8 for race, 1 carryover, 3 for practice), while OReilly drivers have just 7 sets (4 for race, 1 carryover, 2 for practice). Engines are revving, flags are ready — buckle up for a weekend of strategic racing and non-stop action.
