Most people think of Illinois as home to Chicago, one of the top-three cities in the United States. But most of the area of Illinois is devoted to agricultural endeavors.

So when the Sprint Cup Series comes to Chicagoland Speedway, it’s a track that Allgaier enjoys, not only as his home track where family and friends can attend, but also as the home of his sponsor Brandt Agriculture, based in Springfield, Illinois, not far from Allgaier’s home town of Riverton, Illinois.

Staying out on old tires, Hamlin grabbed the lead moments after a restart with five laps left and streaked away to a .963-second victory over Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Carl Edwards, who surged from sixth to second during that restart on lap 263 of 267.

Hamlin saw an opening as the cars roared toward turn one on the restart. Continue reading →
