NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Bubba Wallace, driver of the No. 6 “Shredder” TMNT Ford Mustang, recorded a 20th-place finish in the NASCAR XFINITY Series event at Chicagoland Speedway in the final race of the 2016 regular season.

Kyle Busch opened the door, and that was all the invitation Erik Jones needed. When Busch, the polesitter for Saturday’s The Drive for Safety 300 at Chicagoland Speedway, spun with a tire down while leading on Lap 182 of 200, Jones took full advantage of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate’s misfortune.

Recap: Joey Logano started ninth, led laps and finished seventh in the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang for Team Penske in Saturday afternoon’s Drive Safe 300 and the Chicagoland Speedway. Logano brought excitement to the race early as he went three wide for position twice in the opening two laps of the race working his way toward the top-five. Logano battled a car that was tight on the bottom and loose on the top of the track throughout the first run.

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang – Finished 7th “That was probably the best we were going to finish, seventh. We just struggled today. I don’t know. We were kind of weak in every department today. We were just slow."
