For the first time since 2019, NASCAR is running a Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway this Sunday evening.
The four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) oval in Joliet, Illinois, which has replaced the Chicago Street Course after the street race's three-year run as the sport's Independence Day Weekend event, was on the original 2020 schedule, but it did not return the following year after being replaced due to various COVID-19-related restrictions.
Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin took the pole position for Sunday's 267-lap eero 400 in Saturday's qualifying session, continuing his recent oval dominance, and Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson joined him on the front row to get Sunday's race underway.
There are 38 cars competing on Sunday night, after one team withdrew what would have been the 39th entry.
Follow along with our eero 400 race updates from Chicagoland.
