NASCAR Heads to Chicagoland for the Geico 400 Sunday

There was a lot of controversy this past week in the NASCAR world. NASCAR pressing fines and taking points away from drivers and changing the outcome of the race for the points.

All eyes will be on Jimmie Johnson as he is the favorite Sunday from Chicagoland. The bookies in Las Vegas have Jimmie Johnson as the 3-to-2 favorite to win his sixth Sprint Cup Championship, but also as the 5-to-1 favorite win Sunday’s Geico 400. The bookies also have Kenseth at 6-to-1 behind Johnson with Busch at 7-to-1. Kenseth has never won at Chicago,but has finished in the top three previously.

Some racers like the Chicago track in Juliet, this is a 1.5-mile, D-shaped, tri-oval speedway that annually hosts the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series.

The flag drops at 12 Noon Sunday and you can hear all of the action on 1033 US COUNTRY.
