Race Notes
Team Notes
“I really liked the racetrack last year in Chicago. I thought it was really ‘racey’ for a street course. We definitely didn’t have the result we wanted to, but I’m pumped up to get back there and run both races. I believe with the things we have learned on the road courses, especially with the Cup car, we’ll be better there and have a great weekend.”

“Chicago is a special place for me and I am excited to get back there! The event last year was so impressive, and it was the first-ever street race for NASCAR plus my first time racing in the series. I’m looking forward to seeing what my Wendy’s Saucy Nuggs Chevrolet can accomplish this weekend. It’s not going to be easy; it’s going to be a challenge but it’s going to be fun and hopefully better weather! Thankful for everyone at Trackhouse Racing, Kaulig Racing, Chevrolet and Wendy’s for making this all possible.”
– Shane van Gisbergen on Chicago Street Course
“I haven’t made a ton of laps at Chicago, since the Xfinity Series race was shortened last year, but Kaulig Racing always has a really good road-course program. I’m looking forward to Chicago and learning a lot from my teammates, SVG and AJ. I feel really good about our simulator sessions we’ve had, so hopefully this will be one of our better road-course races this year.”

“The atmosphere at Chicago is really cool. It’s a change of pace for us in NASCAR, and I’m happy that the series was able to put it all together again for this season. Hopefully we can run the whole race this time instead of just 25 laps.”

“I’m looking forward to racing the Xfinity car on this Chicago Street Course, obviously I have already raced the Cup car here, but these cars [Xfinity and Cup] are not comparable. So, it is going to be another massive challenge for me but [Crew Chief] Bruce [Schlicker] and my 97 Kaulig Racing team always bring fast cars to the track. Happy to have WeatherTech on board with us this weekend in their home city and hopefully park it in victory lane!”
