On weekends when NASCAR’s two series run back-to-back at the same track, the NASCAR XFINITY Series will often attract an average of four NASCAR Sprint Cup contenders.
Kyle Busch, for example, won last week’s Great Clips 250 benefiting Paralyzed Veterans of America last Saturday at Michigan International Speedway before running the Sprint Cup Series race the next day.
But with Sprint Cup Series taking this week off, Busch and many other drivers from NASCAR’s premier series opted for a rare weekend away from the tracks.
But Sprint Cup regular Austin Dillon did opt to run at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday. He’s made four previous starts at Chicagoland with top-10 finishes each time.
