Chicagoland Speedway
The 1.5-mile track in Joliet, Ill. is one of the newest tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit, opening in 2001 with Kevin Harvick winning the inaugural race.
Owned by International Speedway Corp., the 75,000-seat track hosts one Cup race per year and is similar to other 1.5-mile tracks on the circuit, with 11 to 18 degrees of banking and straightaways from 1,700 to 2,400 feet.
The Chicago race, which puts NASCAR in one of the nation’s biggest media markets, was held in July until 2011, when it was moved to September as the first race of the Chase For The Sprint Cup.
