To get an early jump on Chicagoland this week, the best reference tool is to look at what happened in the Kansas race in April and at Kentucky in June. Although unique in its own way, cars at Chicago can be set up like they are at those two tracks because of the similar banking at 18 degrees.
Here's a look at who the top contenders are this week:
1. Denny Hamlin tops the charts having won at Kansas and finishing third at Kentucky. However, during his career he's had a 19.2 average finish in six starts at Chicago with a best finish of fifth in 2009.
