Busch, a two-time Cup champion in his first season with Richard Childress Racing, is an accomplished road course racer but like much of field this week will be making his first NASCAR on a street course in Chicago.
The 12-turn, 2.2-mile street course – which was completed Friday – will take the Cup and Xfinity series fields through the Grant Park area of Chicago, including the iconic Buckingham Fountain, along Lake Michigan and approach the northern edge of Soldier Field, home of the NFL’s Chicago Bears.
