Brandon Jones Stuns in Wild Chicagoland Win | Nascar News

Brandon Jones pulled off a heart-stopping victory at Chicagoland Speedway, outdueling Chase Elliott in a last-lap thriller that saw Jones make a daring move through turns three and four to seize the win—his first of the season and eighth career triumph. With the track hosting the series for the first time since 2019, Elliott, who led many laps, lamented lack of push on the final restart and worn tires, crediting Jones for the bold move. The win marks a major turnaround for Jones after a slump, while teammates Taylor Gray and Brent Crews solidify postseason positions—though William Sawalich faces mounting pressure after a costly incident with Crews. Earlier, rain delays disrupted the schedule, and Connor Zilisch, who started on pole, battled fuel and tire woes to finish top ten. Justin Allgaier, penalized for a pit road violation, clawed back to sixth, keeping his series lead. Next up: EchoPark Speedway near Atlanta.

Lundgaard Stakes Claim with Pole | Nascar News

Christian Lundgaard stunned the field with a last-lap pole at Mid-Ohio, narrowly edging out Pato O’Ward despite a shaky qualifying run—proof he’s still got championship-caliber speed.
