NASCAR is shifting from the oval-shaped Nashville Superspeedway to the road-course of Road America this weekend for the Kwik Trip 250. The weekend will be full of thrilling racing action as the 4.048-mile-long will host the Next Gen cars for the first time.
Fresh off the weekend in Tennessee, it will be interesting to see how drivers cope with unknown challenges in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, after an action-packed Ally 400.
A total of 37 Cup Series cars are set to start the race on Sunday, competing over 62 laps and 4.048 miles of bumper-to-bumper racing. Ahead of Sunday’s race, there will be a qualifying race for the main event to determine the starting grid for the 18th Cup race of the season.
The driver with the fastest qualifying speed will win the pole for Sunday's race. The rest of the grid will be decided according to their qualifying speed.
Chase Elliott, the driver of the #9 Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports, won last year’s Kwik Trip 250 and will be looking for back-to-back wins at Road America.
