In the recent NASCAR Cup event held at Chicagoland Speedway, Chase Briscoe, driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, achieved victory, his first since October 2025 at Talladega. This win marks his sixth race won at Chicagoland.
Briscoe surpassed Christopher Bell, also from Joe Gibbs Racing, by just 0.276 seconds, who crossed the finish line in second place. Denny Hamlin, another driver from the team, finished third, over three seconds behind the winner.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver, William Byron, was the highest-ranked from his team, placing fourth, while his teammate, Alex Bowman, completed the top five. On the other hand, Bubba Wallace was the best driver from 23XI Racing with a sixth position, and Corey Heim, who competed in a part-time team, finished ninth.
One of the highlights of this race was the number of Toyotas among the top finishers, with a total of seven vehicles from this brand finishing in the top ten, a new record for the manufacturer. Only 16 cars finished the race on the lead lap, with Austin Hill and Connor Zilisch being the only drivers who did not complete the race.
Zilisch has had a tough year in his rookie season, accumulating four finishes in the lowest position.
