After a weekend off, the NASCAR Xfinity Series made a stop in the Windy City of Chicago for their fifteenth race of the season yesterday. This race also marked the beginning of the Summer stretch as it was the first of fifteen races in a row. Extremely high temperatures would play a major factor throughout the weekend for drivers and teams.
CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS CAMARO ZL1 – Qualified 3rd - NOTE: Elliott finished 10th in the Overtons 300 NASCAR Xfinity race and subsequently received fluids at the Infield Care Center due to the oppressive heat conditions.

PAUL MENARD, No. 21 Menards/Sylvania Ford Fusion -- Qualified 1st - “My guys did a hell of a job today. We weren’t very good in practice. We did a mock run that was so loose that we had to abort it and never really got a true mock run. We had speed and all through those rounds we got a little too loose in round two and we adjusted for it. Round three drove like rails. It was good.”
Daniel Hemric Has Another Top-Five Outing With No. 21 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway "It was an OK day, we just didn't have what we needed to take off with the guys ahead of us and really contend for the win. I am very proud of how far we came from the start of the race through the checkered flag."
Camry driver Daniel Suárez was the highest-finishing Toyota in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) race at Chicagoland Speedway after placing fourth.
KEVIN HARVICK, No. 98 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang “The handling was great on the last stop, probably better than it was the stop before. We were just a 1-25 and not a 25-50.”
JOLIET, Ill. – When Kyle Larson crossed the finish line at Chicagoland Speedway 8.030 seconds ahead of runner-up Kevin Harvick, there were no screams of elation from the winner of Saturday’s Overton’s 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
DANIEL SUÁREZ, No. 19 PEAK Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Can you talk about your process to citizenship in the U.S.? “I think now that I’m living that process, I understand why a lot of people don’t do it and do it the difficult way because it’s extremely expensive, extremely long and a lot of people will imagine that for me, I’m here and I pay taxes and everything that it would be easier, but it’s a pain in the butt to do it and it’s extremely expensive."
MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - What is it about this track that you’re so good at and can we give the trophy now? “Well, you can. It’s probably not going to be as simple. I don’t know, this track has always been really good for me. Obviously the last two years, it’s been really good. I had to overcome a lot of issues here both years it seems like in order to get the win."
