The track, located outside Chicago, has had ample experience hosting big-time events.
Saturday’s doubleheader, which included an ARCA race, is a prelude to September’s big show when all three NASCAR series will take turns on the track.
The main event will be the Sept. 20 MyAFibStory.com 400 and the Chase for the Sprint Cup opener.
“It’s a good trial run for getting ready for the big triple header in September and it’s also a good platform for us to talk about September,” Scott Paddock, Chicagoland Speedway president said on Saturday. “We’re honored to host the kickoff race in the Chase [for the NASCAR Sprint Cup], it’s a very coveted position on the NASCAR calendar.”
