Chicagoland Speedway - Cup Series Race Winners

Chicagoland Speedway is a tri-oval intermediate speedway in Joliet, Illinois. It has hosted various major races throughout its existence, including NASCAR and IndyCar races. It features a 47,000-seat capacity as of 2019. The track is currently owned by NASCAR. During the 1990s stock car racing boom, NASCAR, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Menards formed the Motorsports Alliance to find a new market to construct an intermediate oval, eventually deciding on the Chicago market. After failed proposals at the DuPage Airport and the town of Plano, the city of Joliet was chosen after the Alliance partnered with the Route 66 Raceway in 1999. Construction began within the year and was completed in 2001. After 18 years of racing, due to low attendance, all major racing at the facility stopped. From 2020 until 2025, with the exception of a one-off SuperMotocross race in 2023, the facility stayed largely dormant. In 2025, NASCAR announced the revival of the track with the return of the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026. Chicagoland Speedway in its current form is measured at 1.5miles, with 18 degrees of banking in the track's turns, 11 degrees of banking on the frontstretch, and 5 degrees of banking on the backstretch. Unlike most intermediate oval tracks, the backstretch is a singular continuous curve instead of a straight line. The track's length has been disputed by varying sanctioning bodies; NASCAR utilized a length of 1.5miles while the IndyCar Series utilized a length of 1.52miles.
