Chase Elliott on what makes Chicagoland different from other 1.5-mile tracks:
“The age of the surface is the fun part about it. The last couple times we’ve been there we’ve been able to move around and stuff, which is cool. I hope that with this package we are still able to do that and I think if so, it will be a fun race.”
"We’re heading to Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. We’ve got two cars – the No. 10 and No. 11, with teammate, Ross Chastain, who just came off a win. We’ve had really fast mile-and-a-half cars and we had speed at Iowa last race. Hopefully we can catch another Top-5 and maybe go for the win."
“We’ve been pretty consistent here lately, and stringing together top-five and top-10 finishes is a good way to keep building for the Playoffs. The last race of the regular season is on a 1.5-mile oval and there are four of them in the Playoffs, so what we learn now is going to help us then, when it really counts. Our Pilot Flying J team is clicking on all cylinders, and I look forward to another race in the Midwest on a track I’ve done well on in the past.”– Michael Annett
