Nascar – Martin Truex Jr returns to victory

Martin Truex Jr (Furniture Row Racing) scored his fifth victory of the season in Nascar Cup Series in Chicagoland, Illinois. The Championship leader dominated the race by quickly becoming the fastest and winning with a lead of seven seconds over Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsport). Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing) completed the top three.

Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing) appeared to be able to fight for victory, but the 2015 Nascar Cup Series champion had to pit several times following a wheel vibration and a drive-through penalty for excessive speed. .

The title contenders finished at the forefront at the end of this very fluid race which was almost uninterrupted. Joey Logano (Team Penske) is the only driver no longer eligible for the title who finished in the top ten, in seventh position. Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Kyle Larson (Chip Ganassi Racing) completed the top five ahead of Brad Keselowski (Team Penske). Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsport) finished eighth.
