Chicagoland Speedway is only appeared in one series: the Slim Jim Series. It's not a famous track around the ISCC, but it is the crown jewel of the series since it was ran as the first ever Slim Jim race. Chicagoland featured racing where cars are in huge packs, but the new models are much faster and be very different. Some modifications are being made for cars to be string out while Chicagoland is still a draft fest. Passing will be very easy with the strong run and the driver line favoring the inside line. There is shuffling, but it is not going to be like Talladega as we have violent crashes at this track. However, Turn 4 can cause drivers to lose a couple of MPH, but it only happens if the driver makes a mistake.

Cyrus LaTerza, last season's Chicagoland winner, is still your points leader after Sean Angel's impressive Utah run. Other than these two, home hero Dillon Young, Will Lewis, Nick Pericles, and Ryder Smith (in that order) have a shot to take home the points lead. Remember, this is the last race before the 1 in 70 which is double points. It plays a huge part of the championship.

1 in 70 Cutoff:

The top 7 are in the 1 in 70. Funny that the 26 split car team is not clinched, but I'm sure they will make it. Unless they choked royally. Foxy Duncan looks safe as well. Alan Cavagnaro and PJ Williams may look comfortable, but I rather get a good run than a bad run. From Tsunemochi to Johnston, it is a battle. Realistically, it will go far as Ashley Brock in the 99, but John Johnston has a shot, but needs a perfect 100 so good luck bud. Last driver is Jeffery Finguy, and first driver out is Dajon Weeks representing the 4 car in the 1 in 70. Once the top 14 is announced, the remaining drivers will have to race their way in the 1 in 70.

Qualifying for Chicagoland will be up tomorrow.

S3 Motorsports locks out the front row with Jake Baskinger getting his second pole of the season with home favorite Dillon Young starting next to him. Highest split car driver is Maxwell Chan in 3rd, and highest rookie driver is Greg Marshall. Points leader Cyrus LaTerza starts at 7th while Sean Angel is starting directly behind LaTerza in 9th. Out of the drivers are that in the top 14, Daniel Smith started the worst in 38th. Dajon Weeks started 34th with the 4 team being the closest to Jeffery Finguy, starting in 13th.

The start will be slippery especially, but this could be another fun race.

The race will be out in the weekend maybe.

Dodd: "A solid start, 14th!"
Turbo: Not too bad, 28th."

Finguy: "If it wasn't for these damn split cars, then I would had been in. This is a stupid thing that should had never been. They have the most unfair advantage in having drivers rest up and get better performances. That's why I'm not locked in. I DEMAND TO BE LOCKED IN, THIS IS BULL S*IT!"

Race is out even though you can tell, because shit has gone down. There's crashes, saves, Princess Percle, Doge cakes, dick-grabbing moments, whining, Foxy Duncan X Chica Louviere relationship issues, Wilhoit's Reject of the Race, and many, many more. After that crap, here's the link below:



Next up is the 1 in 70 Presented by M&M's at Atlanta. (Yes, that's the official name.) There will be signups first obviously. After that, there would be the qualifying races and the main show after that.

Top 20 finish

Pericles:" Dodd..."

Smith:" Ran a Good race, that's all I need to do."

*Month Later Bump*

*Bump* It's back.
