This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series blows into Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., for the LifeLock.com 400. Chicagoland is one of the cookie-cutter tracks, a 1.5-mile, D-shaped, tri-oval.

Earlier in the year, Biffle finished seventh and led 40 laps at Las Vegas. Biffle has also performed well at Kansas with four top-three finishes in the last five years. Want more? Keep reading…
