'''Chicagoland Speedway''' is a {{cvt|1.500|mi|km|abbr=on}} tri-oval [[Oval track racing#Intermediate|intermediate]] speedway in [[Joliet, Illinois]]. It has hosted various major races throughout its existence, including [[NASCAR]] and [[IndyCar]] races. It features a 47,000-seat capacity as of 2019. The track is currently owned by [[NASCAR]] and led by track general manager Jacqueline Herrera.

During the 1990s stock car racing boom, [[NASCAR]], the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]], and [[Menards]] formed the Motorsports Alliance to find a new market to construct an intermediate oval, eventually deciding on the Chicago market. After failed proposals at the [[DuPage Airport]] and the town of [[Plano, Illinois|Plano]], the city of Joliet was chosen after the Alliance partnered with the [[Route 66 Raceway]] in 1999. Construction began within the year and was completed in 2001. After 18 years of racing, due to low attendance, all major racing at the facility stopped. From 2020 until 2025, with the exception of a one-off [[SuperMotocross World Championship|SuperMotocross]] race in 2023, the facility stayed largely dormant. In 2025, NASCAR announced the revival of the track with the return of the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026.
