The NASCAR Xfinity Series has seen 12 different winners in the first 14 races this season; which is the most through the first 14 races since 1996 (also saw 12 winners). Even though the defending Chicagoland Speedway winner, Justin Allgaier, became the second driver with multiple wins this season with his victory at Iowa, the chances are once again pretty good for the fans to see a different winner this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway.
The Illinois native, Allgaier, will be going for two-in-a-row at Chicago this weekend, a feat not yet accomplished in the 22 Xfinity Series races held at the famed 1.5-mile speedway. In total 14 different drivers have won at Chicago.
This season’s winners include Tyler Reddick (Daytona), Kevin Harvick (Atlanta), Kyle Larson (Las Vegas), Brad Keselowski (Phoenix and Charlotte), Joey Logano (California), Ryan Blaney (Texas), Ryan Preece (Bristol), Christopher Bell (Richmond), Spencer Gallagher (Talladega), Justin Allgaier (Dover and Iowa), Kyle Busch (Pocono) and Austin Dillon (Michigan).
Different winners aren’t the only things fans have had a chance to see this season, there has been great racing all around, check out these stats – the average number of leaders this season is 7.0; the most since 2013 (7.93) and the average number of lead changes this season is 11.14; the third-most in the last five years. Plus, on top of all that the finishes have been close – the average margin of victory this season is 0.498 second – the smallest since the inception of electronic scoring in the Xfinity Series in 1996.
