NASCAR 2023 Chicago schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Last weekend at Nashville, Ross Chastain earned his first victory of the 2023 season, winning from pole position and leading 99 of 300 laps. It was the third victory of his Cup career.

Martin Truex Jr. finished second, and remains in control of the regular season championship. William Byron and Chastain trail him by 18 points.

NASCAR now heads to Chicago for something entirely different, with its first-ever trip to the street course.

This week in the news, the penalties against Erik Jones and the No. 43 Legacy Motor Club (LMC) group were upheld after  the team appeal. Also, seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and LMC co-owner Jimmie Johnson was originally scheduled to race at Chicago this Sunday, but has since withdrawn his No. 84 entry from the event after a family tragedy involving his in-laws.
