Chicagoland Speedway Goes Under the Lights
Thursday July 10, 2008
During the off-season Chicagoland Speedway added lights to its 1.5 mile oval so the 2008 LifeLock.com 400 moves to a Saturday night show. Chicagoland isn't known for its great racing or fantastic finishes. Maybe the cooler night time temperatures will help. Chicagoland could use some great racing to overcome its "cookie cutter" image.
Most of the media attention this week will be on Tony Stewart. On Wednesday Stewart announced that he will be leaving Joe Gibbs Racing at the end of 2008 to become an owner-driver. Will Tony Stewart be able to repeat his 2007 Chicagoland victory amid the media frenzy?

My bet this weekend would be on Tony. Now that all the pressure is off his shoulders, he can concentrate more on racing. Watch out Chicago!!
Screw Smoke. He’s a whiny-a$$ loser. JGR is better off without him
If Chicago under the lights is twice as exciting as it was in daylight last year… er, I’ll be watching something else.
Chicagoland sucks its boreing and i hope sometime in the future they will drop it and bring a flat track back like nazareth or something like it.
Smoke is making the right move to enhance his outstanding racing career. Since “JGR” hired dirty drive Kyle, Tony has not been getting the best equipment,it’s very obvious to us motorheads that have followed the sport for years. Thank God Home Depot is going with Tony, too bad Zippy isn’t going with him as well.It’s obvious, that cocky, Joey Logano is in line for the 20 ride, everyone is making a big thing out this young spoiled brat who’s family spent big money to get him where he’s at in the sport, although his is a better than average driver for his age, how could he not do well in the equipment he has been given. Unfortunately, many families are unable to finacially support their children like so many do and unfortunately, great young drives are unable to secure rides.Good Luck, Smoke.
Tony is by far the worlds most versitale driver and becoming owner is almost to good to be true.I think Tony will be successful at what ever he does.He’s the number one guy in the garage and has fans around the world…Go Tony!..
The IRL puts on great races at Chicago. Maybe NASCAR needs to figure out a way to compete.
Tony’s Owns it all now!
*Several Titles!
*several tracks!
*Cup Team!
That in it self speaks Volumes!
Nuff Said!!
When they start equalizing the racing we’ll start watching again.
