Series That Race at Chicagoland Speedway
History of Chicagoland Speedway

In the 1990s NASCAR, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Menards formed the Motorsports Alliance to build a new track in the Chicago area. After plans at the DuPage Airport and in Plano fell through, the group partnered with Route 66 Raceway in Joliet in 1999, and the 1.5-mile tri-oval opened in 2001. Low attendance ended major racing after 2019, and apart from a 2023 SuperMotocross race the track sat mostly quiet. In 2025 NASCAR announced the Cup Series would return to Chicagoland in 2026 and 2027.
