Nascar heads to Chicagloand this weekend

Nascar heads to Chicagoland Speedway for a triple-header weekend. Sunday’s Cup Series race is the seventeenth of the 2018 season. The push to the post-season playoffs is gathering steam with just ten races remaining in the regular season. Playoff berths have been secured by race winners Martin Truex Junior, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Austin Dillon and Joey Logano. Heading into the weekend, Harvick and Busch – who have combined for nine wins so far – are locked in a tight battle for the Number-1 seed. Harvick presently holds the top spot with twenty-six playoff bonus points, one more than Busch. Truex is the defending race winner, when this race was part of the playoff “Chase”.
