In 2001, the gates to Chicagoland Speedway opened up for NASCAR, ARCA, IndyCar, and the International Race of Champions (IROC). In total, 90 races have been held with Kyle Busch holding the most wins at the track (10). Tony Stewart leads all drivers with three wins at the 1.5-mile paved oval in the NASCAR Cup Series.
