NASCAR at Gateway live race updates, results, highlights from Enjoy Illinois 300

By | June 5, 2022

The Enjoy Illinois 300 is next up on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. If the previous race is any indication, it could be a doozy.

Last week’s Coca-Cola 600 was sloppy at times, full of spills and thrills. And although Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin outpaced teammate Kyle Busch to earn a victory, Hamlin’s performance was overshadowed by a 12-car wreck, as well as Chris Buescher’s scary rollover crash.

This week’s race takes place on unfamiliar terrain. Typically, World Wide Technology Raceway hosts Camping World Truck Series races, a world away from the bright lights of the Cup Series. It also hosts IndyCar Series races.

A different set of racers will take to the track in Madison, Ill., this weekend. And the stakes are high; the Cup Series regular season is winding down, meaning wins and top-five finishes are becoming all the more important. Racers will need to respond to unfamiliar track conditions as they hope to improve their chances of qualifying for the Cup Series playoffs.
