NASCAR Cup Series

Biffle has 13 Sprint Cup career starts at Chicago, earning one top-five and one top-10 finish.

In 2016 Shell, Pennzoil and Team Penske looked to celebrate their on-going alliance and Penske’s 50th anniversary by doing what they have always done best together– win races and perform on track. Part of the celebration included plans to run the distinctive mosaic paint scheme on Joey Logano’s No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion in the Sprint Cup Chase featuring photos commemorating Team Penske’s first 50 years.

The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup kicks off this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway and three Ford drivers are part of the field. Chris Buescher, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are part of the 16-driver Chase, which ends in November at Ford Championship Weekend.

Trevor Bayne will make his fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Chicago this weekend. In three previous starts at the Illinois track, Bayne has earned a best finish of 20th in 2012.

Stenhouse has three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) starts at Chicagoland Speedway with an average starting position of 12.0 and average finishing position of 14.3.

Drama, that is what we were waiting for at Richmond on Saturday night. Drama and answers. We wanted to know if Chris Buescher would be close enough to David Ragan and 30th in the standings in order to be eligible for the chase?

Harvick finished fifth at Richmond and will start the Chase For The Cup with 2006 points, six behind first place.

McMurray hasn’t had a lot of raw firepower- just one top five and nine top 10s are the worst in the Chase save for Chris Buescher. What he has had, however, has been consistency. Only five times has McMurray finished outside of the top 20, he has 19 lead lap finishes out of 26 starts, and his lone DNF was in a multi-car wreck at Daytona.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Ryan Newman described the late race wreck that ended his Chase hopes as having "got Tony Stewarted."

Chase Bid for Ryan Newman and Caterpillar Team Ends After Accident While Running in the Top 10 "I'm fine. I think it was pretty obvious watching the video. I don't even have to watch it. The No. 14 (Tony Stewart) cut across my nose into Turn 1 and I got into him after that, but he'd already chopped into me and messed up my line and I clipped him a little bit coming off of (Turn) 2; but he just cut across my nose."
