More about Chicagoland Speedway
Chicagoland Speedway is a 1.5-mile tri-oval located in Joliet, Illinois, that became a fixture on the NASCAR calendar after opening in 2001. The track features progressive banking in the turns, allowing multiple racing grooves to develop and encouraging side-by-side competition as drivers search for grip and clean air.
Known for its worn asphalt surface, Chicagoland often produces significant tire falloff, placing an emphasis on long-run speed and tire management. As rubber builds and laps accumulate, drivers are forced to move around the track, creating dynamic racing conditions and frequent lead changes.
The speedway gained a reputation for dramatic finishes and highly competitive racing, including several close battles in its later years on the schedule. Its combination of aging surface, variable lines, and strategic complexity made it a favorite among drivers and fans despite its recent absence from the NASCAR calendar.
