Shane van Gisbergen is on the pole for The Loop 110 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on July 5 at the Chicago street course. SVG, making his first Xfinity start of the season, qualified early in the first group and posted a lap of 1:30.

Since the inaugural event two years ago, the Cup and Xfinity series have been affected by inclement weather. After both series’ races were shortened by thunderstorms in 2023, the Cup Series ended 17 laps short of the full distance last year because of rain delays.

The 2.2-mile, 12-turn track will take drivers through Grant Park and along DuSable Lakeshore Drive, setting a scenic stage.
