drivers like brian seeing and dakoda armstrongfighting for a spot in the championship. i'm rick allen. hello, everyone. the chase is new to the xfinity series. there is going to be a reset in points. there is elimination after each three-roundsegment. so a different situation for these drivers. who does that favor as we get started? >> i think just the pressure filled situationfor the drivers.

i like elliot sadler. he was in cup full time for 12 years. he is in his eighth year in the xfinity series. he has been there, done that, understandswhat it's like to be in big races. i like that experience. >> i like the youth. i like the excitement of the youth. erik jones, three wins this season. the truck series champion, truck series rookieof the year.

this is going to be his only shot at the xfinitychampionship. going full time sprint cup next year. he is my favorite in the chase. >> one vary yabl that has to be added intothe quakes, kyle busch, the winningest kpflt series driver in the field today. who and beat kyle busch. >> erik jones, also daniel suarez. those two guys are fast drivers, and theyhave the same cars as kyle busch. you have to think they are going to be contenders.

>> let's go trackside to mike mass aro. >> this is the last chance for the driversbefore they enter the playoffs, the chase. justin allgaier told moo he wants to carrymomentum from this race into the playoffs. he told me this is their last chance to findout how much speed they have before it really counts. today he rolls off third, looking for hisfirst victory of the year, kelly. >> one thing left for elliot sadler to do,get that third win, three more bonus points which would tie him with erik jones as thechase begins. he qualified fourth, marty.

>> kelly, pressure on those drivers lookingto make it into the xfinity series chase. but for the drivers already in, this raceis about fun. david suarez told me all i care about todayis the win. the question is, can he beat his teammatekyle busch. jeff burton asked him the question a moleago. he told me i think we can beat kyle, i thinkwe may be better than we were in the long run. >> erik jones is a 20-year-old nascar rookiefrom byron, michigan. he has a opportunity to win his first championshipthis year, the xfinity championship.

he is already locked in. but he hasn't won since july. momentum is very important. if he take it home today it could mean a lotfor this championship. let's stay here for opening ceremonies. >> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, we askthat you please rise and remove your hats. as the junior rotc presents our nation's colors. please remain standing as raceway ministriesoffers our invocation. >> we pray.

â™ªâ™ª and the home of the brave? >>> it is an elimination race. drivers won't have an opportunity to run forthe championship after this one. who will be in the chase? next. >>> it all comes down to this. right down to the wire. the last race of the regular season. jeremy clements currently 14th.

dakoda armstrong 13th, they are on the outsidelooking in, trying to get into the chase. ryan seeing sits right on the cutoff lineas the clock continues to tick. blake cook currently 11th. trying to hold on to a 23-point advantageover that cut line. welcome back to chicagoland speedway as weget ready for the final race of the regular season for the xfinity series before the chasebegins. let's go backtrackside to mike massaro. >> rick, every playoff system needs a wildcard team. dakoda armstrong is hoping to be just that.

to do it, he needs to over come adversitytoday. he is below the cutoff line. needs to make up 20 points. i spoke with him earlier this week. he said there is no pressure on us. it's on everyone else. but he wasn't unrealistic when he said weneed help, we need other teams to make mistakes but we are planning to be there to capitalizeif they do. >> blake cook has been a nervous wreck allweek, couldn't relax until he put his helmet

on yesterday. now he knows the task at hand, have a goodclean race, stay out of trouble. he has a good starting spot. he will roll off 13th. >> jeremy clements knows he needs help tomake it in the xfinity chase in 2016. he told he moments ago he wishes it was 2015because he came into this race last year 11th in the championship standing that obviouslywould have been good enough to put them in the chase. he told me no matter what, i'm proud of whatour race team has accomplished this year.

we have five full time employees and herewe are still with a chance to make the race. jeremy holding out hope to be in the chase. >> marty has four full time employees in hissmall team in atlanta. a 29-year-old going for his first xfinityseries championship if he can hold it together here this afternoon. he is the last man in with a 20-pun cushionn. his favor, he loves the 1 1/2 mile tracksand his team has performed well on them here this weekend. they are the little team that could all yearlong.

they may be again today. >> so many drivers trying to make a name forthemselves in the xfinity series, get an opportunity the make it to the sprint cup series. it's time for the engines to fire. we go trackside for the command. >> now for the most famous words in motorsports, please welcome your gran marshal, national highway travel safety administrationadministrator, dr. mark rothstein. >> drivers, start your engines! >> crank them up.

>> get fired up whenever you are ready. >> fire it up whenever you are ready. >> all right, bud. >> when you are ready. >> fire in the hole. >> all right. fire it when you are ready. >> 40 cars come to life. 200 laps, 300 miles at chicagoland speedway.

that's coming up next.rom sprint. zero dollars. sprint? i'm hearing good things about the network. all the networks are great now. we're talking within a 1% difference in reliabilityof each other. and, sprint saves you 50% on most currentnational carrier rates. [snaps] oooo! if you got 1% more haircut than me today,would you really pay twice as much?

welcome. this is the chevy malibu. it was awarded "most dependable midsize car"by j.d. power. it looks great. wow! what is happening? oh my gosh, it's going up! but the malibu's not the only vehicle thatwas awarded. this is mind blowing.

you have got locked into the chase. what's your strategy going into this race? >> as far as the chase goes, the pressureis off for us today but we definitely want to win this race. get good momentum going into it. i think you will see everybody sidesing eachup other, getting set for the chase that's going to go down going into homestead. it is a good we can to get momentum rollingand put ourselves into position. >> in the chase there are a lot of races thatare this size.

does that make this race more important. >> it does. you have to run up front, get the points youneed to and win these races to get yourself to the next round. >> we know you will be mashing the gas hard. we'll be watching. have a good day. >> leading the field is the 2016 toyota camryand the official pace car for today's race. we're going ride along with a few differentdrivers, including the 48 of drenan poole.

he has the dc solar incar camera and starts11th today. closer to the front, gentlemeny logano hasthe ford on board camera. and will start in row 5. erik jones is up in row 3 and is carryingthe advanced auto parts in-car camera today. and up in the front row, it's the toyota onboard camera of daniel suarez, who starts second today, just outside of kyle busch. today's aerial coverage provided by our partnersat smithfield foods, a great perspective. and it will be exciting when the restartsand the initial start of this race take place. all of the moving that these cars will do,from side to side as they rocket into turn

number 1. look at the race analysis for today's racefrom chicagoland. the race length, 200 lapse. 300 miles on this mile and a half track. it's 45 miles per hour on pit road. that is going to be bringing the speeds waydown, when they will be going over 180 or 190 miles an hour on the racetrack. fuel window is 55 to 60 laps. >> fuel use may come into play today.

the good year tires seem to be lasting wellso the fuel will be stretched we will have a competition caution on lap 25 due to theweather that came through last night. >> i have set up the undog story of ryan seeing. his small team. when you come down to the overthe wall crewyou will see a variety of uniforms and crew members. the pit box is from bk racing. but this group is from four different teamsthat will service his car. the good news is that's the i with a it'sbeen all year and this group has worked together

to give ryan the best chance pop. >> this is a hometown race for justin allgaier. he is from nearby riverton illinois and boywould he like to get a winly. he has come so close so many times this season,he finished runner up three times. he admitted it has him frustrated not to havesecure a win but hungry for more. >> i want to listen in to the 11 car radioof blake cooke, currently 11th in the point standings. 23 points above the cutoff line. here was the pep talk.

>> you have done a phenomenal job all year. okay? like i told you before. i would not rather have anybody else in thatrace car. so just finish this deal out and then we gorun for a championship. you have fun. that's the main thing. you have fun out there, we'll take all thesweat and tears out here. >> chris is a high energy guy.

he believes in high energy. he believes in motivation. he worked very, very hard, starting with nothingto build this team this year. they have done a nice job getting him in position,solid will he in 11th. have work to do today, but if they do theirjob they are fine and in good shape. >> work to do today. as does kyle busch, who is out in front andleading this field through turns 3 and 4. again, kyle busch has chosen the inside linefor the start of this race. on his outside, teammate daniel suarez makingup row number 1.

allgaier and sadler back in row 2. they are getting to the restart zone. the green flag is in the air. underway at chicagoland. early on the 22 of joey logano ducked to theinside trying to advantage of a little bit slower restart. >> this racetrack, that wide front straightawaygives drivers a chance to use the apron trying to make a move getting into 1. they are side by side into 3.

>> great run by daniel suarez of the 19 earlyas he tries to get by kyle busch for the first lap. who will lead the first lap at chicagoland? >> joey logano is down on the apron again. three wide back there in row approximate. >> it was kyle busch who was just in frontof that 19 when they went across the start/finish line. but now daniel suarez takes advantage of themomentum on the high line and gets by kyle busch.

>> aggressive move. we talked about him at the beginning of theshow. we know he is fast, young, he is not afraidto take kyle busch on. did it early in the race. >> he knows he is in the chase. he has already won, going to advance. he can be more aggressive if he wants to be. >> that's a great sound. when you are driving and your spotters says"new leader "you love to hear it.

you talked about momentum, we use that totalk about that through the season. we will talk about it a lot today. the rules packs and the down force and thelimited amount of power it is about momentum. when you get through a set of corners welland get speed down the straightaway that carries you all the way down and through the nextcorner you can continue to pass cars. >> kyle larson on the high line able to getby the 1 of elliot sadler. we will a see kyle larson run probably higherline be that anybody on this racetrack as he will search for grip around this mile anda half. >> kyle busch in the middle of the racetrack.

seeing if he can get a run on the 19 of suarez. the whole goal of running in the middle orover the top is to center the speed and center the corner. >> options. that's what makes this racetrack toe muchfunnings. these drivers have options. as they enter the corner they don't followeach other's tire tracks. whatever line daniel suarez takes, kyle buschgoes maybe to the third lane -- up two grooves. and look at the momentum he carries throughthe front stretch.

>> look at the speed down the straightaway. suarez has no choice bowe but to give himthe line. we'll see if suarez on the bottom or in themiddle can run the same speed or quicker. right here -->> caution comes out. >> the caution does come out. it looks like the 70. derrike cope, has got into the wall. the right side smashed. >> right front tire coming off.

>> heavy damage there. you see not just sheet metal but the rightfront tire is definitely not pointed in the right direction. >> he was running 35th at the time of contact. let's see if we can see what happened. >> all by himself. some sort of failure, whether it is the rightfront tire or some sort of problem with the success essential. but obviously drove into the torner and justdid not turn.

>> up into the wall he went, bringing outthe first caution after six completed laps at chicagoland. kyle busch just taking the lead away fromdaniel suarez. suarez was out front for the first four laps. kyle busch has led the last two. and kyle busch, after starting on the insideand losing the lead to daniel suarez on the outside, and then taking the lead away fromdaniel suarez on the outside, would you anticipate to see him restart on the outside? >> i was surprised he started on the insideat the start of the race.

with the multiple groove racetrack i go beingable to carry momentum out of the corner, if you have grip the middle is where you wantto be. again, when you are side by side with thecar on the inside you are taking the air off his spoiler, making the car not drive so well. i will be shocked if he took the inside onthis restart. >> they will double them up two by two oncedebris is completely cleared off the racetrack after coming off of the 70 of derrike cope. looks like everyone is going to stay out. pit road is open.

no one driving on to pit road. daniel suarez out front early, battling kylebusch for the lead. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming backon my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missingpiece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlledon a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid.

breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for suddenbreathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathingfor a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increasesthe risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization inchildren and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is wellcontrolled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, yourdoctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine,like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed.

see your doctor if your asthma does not improveor gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be amissing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months freeat mybreo.com. one smart choice leads to the next. the new 2017 ford fusion is here. it's the beauty of a well-made choice. . >>> nascar on nbc is brought to you by -- ford. we go further so you can.

private financials, driven by inspiration. visit drive it racing.com to learn more andby good year. the official tire of nascar. lights just coming back on for the pace car. they are going to add a lap. and it looks as though kyle busch has decidedthe outside line would be the preferred line for the restart. >> last night in the truck race he chose thebottom on most restarts. these cars are different than the trucks thatdifference in drag is why the outside works

better. you see ross chastain having some sort ofa problem. the wrecker having to push him back. >> because he could not continue on, that'swhy we were adding another labbe lap under caution. mike? >> well, rick, brendan gaughan was sufferingflu like symptoms earlier in the weekend. because of that he didn't spend a lot of timein the race car during practice. when he rolled off today he discovered thecar's balance was extremely tight.

so much he stopped on pit road last time downand they made significant adjustments to the race car, wedge, track bar, and pulled thespring rubber from the left rear. brendan thinks that was the right move. they were more than willing to give up trackfield. >> fuel pump issue for ross chastain, that'sthe reason for the 4 stopping on the, tre. watch with the nbc sports app and get closerwith additional camera angles, driver stats, track fochlgs it's available on mobile, tablet,and connected tvs. download the app and fine out more at nbcsports.com/live. ross chastain rolling behind the wall.

>> already seeing aggressive racing so fartoday. back here in 18th place, brandon jones inthe 33 car, he had to start dead last because he had a problem in qualifying. started last in the field. already worked up to 18. nice job in only ten laps. >> brendan jones was fast in the first practicethey had on thursday. and then yesterday a little bit of an issueduring a practice. and they come back into the restart zone.

kyle busch with an good car on the outside. elliot sadler just behind him in the number1. >> 42 and 19 were pushing each other on thebottom. you saw suarez. look all the energy he built up, with thepush from the 42 he clears kyle busch. kyle busch lost the lead from the bottom andthe top. >> he has to be scratching his head. normally kyle busch is very good on restarts. this time was kyle larson that gave the 19a shove, assistance getting into 1.

that momentum pays off for daniel suarez. >> look how fast 18 of kyle busch ran around3 and 4. he is looking to catch the 19. suarez is going cross him over. turn 1. that's aggressive for teammates early. zig and zagging on the straightaway. >> i was wondering how kyle busch got on theoutside. i was certain he was going on the inside.

next thing i know he was trying the outside. >> looking low as we ride along with suarez,who goes up the racetrack to catch it. you mentioned teammates and running aggressively,how about that move. >> that was the 18 just putting his frontbumper unthooet the rear butcher of his teammate. had to turn right. otherwise he would have spun out. good thinking. watch here. they never touch.

it's just they get so close it pulls the airoff the back of the spoiler of the 19 car. cars starts to come around he has to liftand take it up the racetrack. >> kyle busch drove it into the corner aswe see the 2 -- >> paul menard, left rear tire is down. menard is trying to get it to pit road. and the green flag stays out. does. >> does a good job getting to pit road. that can be dangerous when you have to drivingacross the field.

he was in eighth before he had the tire issue. >> the spotter did a good job giving him allthe information he needed. >> a left side tire for menard going down. zand zan calling hmm down pit road. they are going to make a left side tire changeonly hoping to get him back out on the racetrack trying to stay on the lead lap. an unfortunate set of circumstances. >> it is unfortunate. with the competition caution coming at approximatelylap 25, if he can stay the first car a lap

down he can get the free pass. we'll see. sometimes nascar extends when the competitioncaution comes out because of that early caution. they don't want that to happen. they want it to happen on lap 25. >> it is a been fun to watch daniel suarezin the fourth position. we rode aalong with him a moment ago. his crew chief said we are honestly approachingthis weekend as if it is a chase race. you see him being aggressive.

this is the car he ran at charlotte earlierthis year. they want to run it in the chase. it hasn't run since may. he says we had to bring it back out and double-checkit. something that dive mentioned in the prerace,very much on the mind of the 19 team, same tires for texas and homestead. he said we might learn something today thatmight help us win a championship in miami. he says as a crew chief you have got to learnwhenever they can. >> you don't get a lot of track time.

the fact that you know you are going to runthis tire later in the chase, we talk a lot about tracks and how similar they are. what tire you bring can be just as important. trying to learn something about that tirecould help them late they are year snits amazing how some teams like certain tires. they always run well on a certain kind ofirtoo much of it's hard to quantify that. but there is no doubt that some drivers havemore success on a particular tire than others. >> left side of the screen, the chase bubble. the points as they are on the track.

armstrong right now 29 points behind blakecook who is currently in the 12th and transfer spot. he will be fighting for a championship ifhe can stay in the top 12. drivers that are in the top 12 will have ayellow bar underneath their name as they scroll across the top. the ones who have won a race and guaranteedto advance they have a green bar underneath their names. that's the way the ticker will work acrossthe top as we take a quick break. we'll be back before the competition cautionfrom chicagoland.

these two made a little bit of contact. it makes you wonder if that's what he thetire went down. >> rarely do you see what happens on the racetrack. you see here exiting turn 2 they get veryclose. it to me looks like the left rear of the 2makes contact with the 48. now the competition caution. >> competition caution we were told is goingto be coming out around lap 25. sure enough, 25 laps completed. as we are on lap 26, the competition cautioncomes out.

it is the second caution of this race. derrike cope got into the wall early on andbrought out the first caution. now these drivers will have the opportunityto come to pit road. and they now can add fuel. if they would have come to pit road earlywhier they could have just made adjust its to the car, different tires if they wanted. but they couldn't add fuel until this competitioncaution. >> what i've seen so far this this race, alot of these xfinity races we've seen kyle busch driving away from the field.

so far, kyle larson, elliot sadler have hangon with him. with these cars so equal at this point inthe race who can make the best adjustment, who can do just a little bit better will bea huge part in this race. >> let's listen in to the radio of kyle busch. said just moments ago. >> i was letting them catch back up. make a race of it. i wasn't pushing that hard. >> 42 of kyle larson if you want to listenin to that, and maybe make bigger adjustments

than you think. those are some of the games that drivers do. kyle busch is thinking basically don't showyour hand, don't allow larson that you are good enough and let them keep working on theircar. >> why not show it? if i have speed left i'm not going to tellanybody. i'm going to keep that to myself. >> if you are the crew chief, you are thinkinghow do i make my car faster because he is not able to run away from these guys and makeadjustments, and kyle will say, nope, i don't

need any adjustments. on to pit road, kelly. >> for elliot sadler, in the 1 car it soundedlike his car got better and better as the run went on. he is asking for more front grip. he said entry and exit were good, just tightin the center. he is going to get four fresh good year tiresand fuel. >> don't make a big adjustment. daniel suarez says he is everywhere, worsein traffic.

they are going down on the track bar. >> kyle busch makes no changes. they had a phenomenal stop. >> some of them have to go in the grass racingoff of pit road. we saw the 3 of ty dillon go all the way intothe grass. it gets four wide as they are coming out oftheir pit stalls. that's what happens. >>> welcome back to nascar xfinity seriesracing from chicagoland. madness taking place on pit road after pitstops.

take another look at what happened. >> you can see the red car, gary smithly,he is in there kinds of short and out into the 20, he has to come out to avoid him. when does he gets into the side of 88. 88 gets into the side -- chaos from there. really, suarez doesn't do anything wrong. he tries to check up, sees it coming. it's just when suarez came out trying to avoidsmithley, everybody had to avoid everybody. and then clint bowyer is not happy.

>> no, no, no. >> rick, we always talk about -->> look at left and right front fenders. >> suarez, from the 19 team decided to puta spring rubber in, extra second, second and a half on pit road. easy to say after the fact, no adjustment,maybe he leaves pit road ahead of this mass. >> nonetheless, it happens. clint bowyer not happy with erik jones thinkinghe was behind that. >> i have a hard time saying somebody wasat fault. you can't just sit there when they let youoff the jack.

that's just one of those spots where everythingwrong happened at the right time. >> we'll see how this restart goes. kyle busch has chose ten outside line. kyle larson on the inside for the restart. the lights still on for the pace car, meaningthey will go around at least one more time. marty. >> rick, in some of the media interviews,kevin harvick said in the sprint cup said expect the unexpected for the chase. last race for the xfinity series, exactlythe same thing is happening.

right front fender fixed fairly well. the left front was fine on daniel suarez'scar. he said i had nowhere to go. you mentioned they took that extra half secondto knock the spring rubber in because the car was extremely loose. you have to wonder, would they have been inthe mess had they decided not to do that. >> those are the decisions you need to make. i agree to make that decision early. scott graves the crew chief for daniel suarezmakes that call, make the changes early when

you have laps to recover from it. >> you mentioned kyle busch taking the outside,rick. one thing that's going to be interesting tosee, this is the first time he hasn't lined up against his teammate, daniel suarez. we'll get a new look. we'llt see if kyle larson in the 42 will beable to keep up with the 18. really sometimes it seems like it has moreto do with who is on row 2. >> nascar drive is nascar.com live racedaycompanion. select your video or camera angle, lap bylap commentary.

social conversation. all in real time. you won't miss a lap when you visit nascar.com/driveon your personal computer. now ready for the restart. the # 3 of brandon jones who had to startat the back this field had too many men over the wall. he will serve that penalty. >> .>>> up through the gears they go. kyle busch blocking kyle larson.

coming all the way down the racetrack. trying to put larson down on the apron. doesn't work. larson takes the lead away. >> busch tried to get in front of larson. couldn't get in front of him. now you see the result. 42 is the leader as sadler tries to get insidebusch. >> he was so aggressive on that restart.

knocked the 42 past the 18. >> you can see sadler is confident in hiscar the way he drives into the corner. turn 1, car bounces around, loose, gettingback behind the 18. >> kyle busch and reports have not been goodto start off this race. three times now we have seen him lose thelead. >> rick, you have to go back a few races tosay that again. that's normally the 18's strong suit. today he seems to struggle to get his carinto turn 1 at the right pace. >> the 1 car is down on the apron.

banging into the back of the 42. 42 with moment up. very guess oif by both kyle larson as wellas elliot sadler. >> this is exactly what happened in the cuprace a year ago, that is how hare ving vick had a flat tire. it's racible down there. now he has to get on the racetrack. the 48 only wanted to give him one car i hadwithth. and boyer was trying to take two.

>> the 48 on pit road now to make sure theydon't have a tire going on. >> it's either a tire going down or a loosewheel. not sure yet. we'll check on that for sure. it's a flat, i was told. they are going to change all four becausethey don't know exact three which one went down. this is not what poole was hoping for in thissituation. a slow stop as welling just over 20 seconds.

>> rick, all this chaos -- this is supposedto be a fun race for the xfinity regulars. these drivers like brennan poole, he is inthe chase. this may be a precursor to tomorrow, whichsome of those sprint cup drivers are watching. >> think about clint bowyer how aggressivehe was on the restart. he has been driving a car in the cup series. hasn't been competitive this year, hasn'thad a chance to win. he has a car now that may have a chance towin. he is going to be aggressive. poole is getting up to speed trying to keepfrom getting a lap down.

>> takes time to get this car wound up andcome up with energy. you will see instantly how good the new tiresare. doesn't take long to catch up. like you said, jeff, now, sitting all theway back in the 35th position. >> he is scored a lap down. paul menard right now is in the free passposition at one lap down running 33rd. there are 32 on the lead lachl it's kyle larsonwho is out in front of the field. kyle larson has made the chase in the sprintcup series for the first time in his career after the big win at michigan.

new kyle busch fighting to get back to thefront. running second. >> i think it's worth pointing out when youlook at the running order, kyle larson and kyle busch they are leading, one, two. sprint cup regulars but then we have othersprint cup drivers in the field. joey logano and clint bowyer, they are backin seventh and eighth. xfinity ricers, ty dillon, erik jones havinggood runs, up inside the top five. >> talked to ty dillon before the race started. he talked about how important this kind ofracetrack is for the chase.

those guys that do well here have a good chancein race. >> how many of the tires are falling off becausewe are seeing guys running on a different path on the track. >> at texas homeland homestead you see falloff. this weekend this good year tire holds onpretty long. 42, i haven't seen him run the bottom yet. when the 18 came, he went right to the bottom. and 42 committed to the top. see why there, the speed he carries comingfrom the top.

>> kyle larson is so good at running the topof the racetrack. 18 has a good groove. we'll see what he can do. kyle larson continues on the top of the racetrackas 18 tries to make a move. >> 42 is going to try to cross him over hereon turn 2. >> with the momentum and run, 42 coming backdown the back stretch. he will try to move to the inside and takethat spot back away. .>> right here he cleared him. it's going to be tight.

>> the slide move for the 42. he took the lead, but then right away the18 crosses back over, takes the lead back. >> kyle swings hard to the right right therebecause he wanted to get to the top of the racetrack. he knows the 42 wants the top of 1 and 2,so he took it away on corner entry. did you into how loose kyle got when he triedto get under 18. and kyle got exceptionally loose into turn1. >> is that early on when larson was tryingto take kyle busch's line away? run where he runs so he doesn't have cleanair?

why he ran to the bottom of the racetrack? >> i don't know why he ran to the bottom ofthe racetrack. ed a as good as he is at the top of the racetracki'm surprised when the 18 got to him that he went to the bottom. he must have gone there because i felt hiscar wasn't good enough on the top. >> erik jones by the 36 ty dillon, erik jonesrunning fifth. >> if you are ty dillon, this has to be agood feeling. at this dillon is currently a favorite. he is currently being outrun.

>> out front, kyle busch, kyle larson, elliotsadler, justin allgaier, and erik jones the top five. this is the all-new 2016 chevy malibu. wow, it's nice. let's check it out. do any of you have kids? i do yes. this car has a feature built in called teendriver technology, which lets parent's see how their teens are driving.

oh, that's smart. it even mutes the radio until the seat beltis fastened. will it keep track of how many boys get itin the car? (laughter) cause that could be useful. this is ahead of what my audi has for sure. wish my beamer had that. i didn't even know that technology existed. i'm not in the market for a car but now imay be. i was made in the shadows of greatness.

shaped by the hands of legacy. forged in the fires of racing. (engine revving) i've been challenged, testedand proven. whether it's on that track or off, the truthis- what you're made of... is what you're made to do. >>> monday and tuesday the voice is back. coaches miley cyrus and alicia case joiningadam and blake. that changes everything. emmy nominated the voice premieres mondayand tuesday on nbc.

one of my favorite shows. >> my wife and i love that show. amazing how much talent those singers have. they start singing, in beautiful voices. >> and with the coaches helping them out,they continue to grow. drivers trying to stay up in the top five,justin allgaier. kelly. >> what a weekend it is for justin. not only is it his 200th career start in thexfinity series.

it is a hometown race for him and his sponsor,brands. brands has about 600 people here. when i talked to justin about it. he said i'm glad this race is not in the chasewith all that's been going on. he says not that it's been distract frommingbut it has brought a lot of attention. he one before in chicago. it would be a heck of a celebration tonightif he did it again. right now he is handling a tight race car. >> clint bowyer had contact on pit road andon the restart.

check out the right front fender of the 88. if this gets pushed in just enough it couldcause damage to the tire. but they made his car so much better handlingwiseon the pit stop he didn't want to bring it in and after the smoke sort of cleared hedecided to stay out. the team is evaluating how quickly they needto bring him in. >> i talked to the crew chief for joey logano. he said we hit a restart on how we approachthe mile and a half track. they are coming in with a different mentality. right now the evaluation is car is too tightespecially in 1 and 2.

this was joey a moment ago. on this run right now struggling in 1 and2. in 3 and 4 he said he is little bit free. handling differently at different ends ofthe track. >> marty, it has been an eventful day forbrandon jones. it began in dwaul qualifying when he scrubbedthe wall on his very first lap. because of that, he didn't get a qualifyinglap in. had to start at the tail end of the field. had such a good race car at the drop of thegreen he made his way into the top 20.

had to serve a penalty after he overshot hisbox and had an extra man over the wall to help push him back. yet he is showing he has speed. this is what the team wants to do. they want to go into the chase with momentum. the crew chief told me this week he said weare giving it everything to see exactly how much speed we will have when we get to theplayoffs and it really counts. >> when we get to the playoffs. the chase begins in kentucky, very next racefor the xfinity series.

>> we mentioned the 33. mike was mentioning the recovery. daniel suarez has moved up 16 positions sincethe restart all the way into the ninth position. >> i love this camera shot, riding along. see how quickly they catch the slower carsand have to make a decision which line you want to go in, the top or the bottom. you hope the slower cars pick a line, andstay in that line. look at the speed. look at the grand stand side.

>> 180 in turn 3. that's the slower end of the racetrack. >> we talked about the recovery for danielsuarez. a host of problems sill on the 19 car. he is reported a vibration. then he said something feels wrong with therear end. tight and loose at different ends of the racetrack. and now the vibration has seemingly gone awayfor daniel suarez who continues to make progress despite the damage he got on pit road earlier.

>> sometimes you can have arrow damage andyou flutter down the wind. you know when you open one window on the freewayand you get that pulse. that can happen, when the fender is looseit can move and shutter in the wind and that can feel like a vibration of the engine tothe driver. >> daniel suarez, again, after the issue onpit road has rebounded. currently in the top ten. running ninth. trying to close the gap between he and joeylogano. riding along with joey logano looking backon daniel suarez.

and joey logano, i know ath isn't a bad position. but this 22 penske car, is yet to win a race. he doesn't come down from the sprint cup seriesto run eighth. his goal is to be up front running with kylebusch andcal. we haven't seen it out of this car. >> we talked about it early in the year. they changed their program to make it so it'smore like the tough cars. they have to reverse that. they are going to focus on the xfinity seriesand they are not -- when you don't run well

you don't learn anything. even though the car is the same they are notable to take the information they are hoping to dak outs of it. >> junior motor sports has found speed overthe year. sadler and allgaier. junior motor sports, i know it's not namedthe same but it has a lot of tieings to hendricks motor sports. and how about their xfinity drivers, runningcurrently third through sixth. >> what a season it has been for elliot sadler.

top ten 22 times already this season. ties his career best having run this manyraces. debating with his crew chief to go back onchanges they made on pit road last time. they say a wedge hurt his entry and exit. but then he thought maybe the car was comingto him. now he is saying they may need to go back. they are in debate mode what to do next timethey are on pit road. >> elliot sadler currently third. the 41-year-old out of virginia.

two wins already this season. we continue to watch xfinity series racing. look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard tobreathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can makeit hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, startingwithin 5 minutes.

symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhalerfor sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvementof your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitisand emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the riskof death from asthma problems. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections,osteoporosis, and some eye problems. you should tell your doctor if you have aheart condition or high blood pressure before taking it.

symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies! (children giggle) symbicort. breathe better starting within 5 minutes. call or go online to learn more about a freetrial offer. if you can't afford your medication, astrazenecamay be able to help. >>> let's check out the toyota camry on track. >> paul menard had trouble with the valvestem on his car getting touched by another car.

look how close it is to the outside of thewheel. if you can imagine two cars getting togetherit grabs that valve stem pulls it out of the wheel. all the air immediately comes out of it. a danger spot. you mentioned you have seen pit crew membershit. cars can knock them out as well. >> there is two valve stemsing one for thetire and one for the inner liner. >> they have a back up the if the tire blows,they have another inner line that the cars

for safety matters are supposed to be ableto help keep them off the wall a little bit as we watch kyle busch continue to work aroundslower traffic. kyle busch now with a /10 of a second leadovercal. >> ryan seeing doing what he needs to do rightnow to make it into the inaur augustural xfinity chase. when talking about the pressure around thisweek he said i haven't thought about it that much to the worried pointed. i haven't worried about it. i've slept fine.

we need to run like we know how to do on meesmile and a half tracks. >> the 11 car came into the race with a 23point cushion. he has extended that now to 28 points. but he says this race has a ton of pressurefor him. he said if we make the chase, we have alreadyachieved our goal. then we can go out and have fun. so he said this race in chicago kind of feelslike the last race of the year. and then the rest will just be icing on thecake. well right now he said his car is just a littlebit too free on entry, which carries through

the center. he had a vibration early in the race. but a new set of tires seems to have curedthat issue. >> new set of tires cures most issues, doesn'tit driver? >> they do, but kyle busch has an issue withtraffic. behind him is the 42 ofcal. and closing quickly. >> 33 of brandon, they had a problem on pitroad, he made a mistake in qualifying. they are in this hole because of that.

now they are getting lapped. >>cal goes down to the apron to pass the # 3of brandon jones. >> normally we see kyle busch when he hasa car like this stretch a lead over the field. these two have a lead of over 4.5 secondsover elliot sadler. but kyle busch andcal are going to be racingfor a sprint cup championship starting tomorrow in their sprint cup cars. this is a precursor. cal has been good at this track, running thetop, and not letting kyle busch guilty away in the xfinity race.

>> the 42 ofcal has cut almost a half secoff the lead of kyle busch. much better here. really good in 1 and 2. he says the car is a little bit free. needs to be a little bit tighter to get the18. ne brought a new car this week. the last time they did that, it was poconoand they won. expecting the same results here. they have got to make the car a little bittighter to catch the 18 on the next set of

stops. >> that will be the next test teams have togo through, not making mistakes coming off of pit road. >> we saw it in practice, too. we saw the 88 of alex bowman spin out. jeff, you mentioned how difficult the entryto this pit road is. if you are running the top does it make itmore difficult to get on the pit road. cal spun out getting on pit road a few weeksago. he has to not make that mistake again.

>> telecast presented into auto zone. we would dream about racing each other, inmonaco. upgrade season's here. with my moderate to severe crohn's disease,... ...i was always searching for ways to managemy symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humirawas for people like me who have tried other medications,...

but still experience the symptoms of moderateto severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patientson humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as haveblood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure.

before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas wherecertain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...orhave flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms,ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. .>>> nascar on nbc is brought to you by toyota. let's go places.

and by auto zone. hoods up, america. >>> out front, kyle busch has about a 6/10of a second lead over kyle larson. kyle busch now running the larson line aroundthe racetrack, which is right up against the wall. >> watch these two guys. they have it figured out. they know exactly what they are doing. watch how much racetrack they do on cornerentry.

right against the wall on corner entry. little bit of space. right against the wall. they carry that momentum all the way aroundthe corn he. they use the same radius of the corner asthe wall. and rather than trying to turn the car down,drying to drive until low and drive up to the wall they use all the racetrack. >> things heating up for third between letteris an-- between sadler and allgaier. pit stops happening.

>> kyle larson told mike shepard he said weare good at the end of the run. if you can help me at the running of the runit's too he froo. they are going to make an air pressure adjustment. >> and kyle busch feels like from the centerof the corner to the exit of the corner his car is difficult to turn. the good year tires that they have on it alreadyhave an air pressure adjustment in them. he will get a full tank of fuel. >> track is getting loose in 3 and 4. but entry and exit in 1 and 2 with fine.

they are going make a air pressure adjustmen and fuel for the 3. >> air pressure adjustment also a wedge adjustment,taking a long time on the left front for the 19 team. costing them time on pit road. >> sadler pits from the third position. you see the chassis adjustment. he was free, and then off a little bit toosnug through the center, four tires and fuel. right next door, justin allgire who has beenbattling a tight race car. four tires as well, and a chassis adjustmentfor the 7.

>> how difficult is that? two guys racing on the track for positionnow racing off of pit road. the 1 and the 7, allgaier and sadler. and as they are cycling through the greenflag pit stops, allgaier was scored as the race leader. marty? >> and rick, jeremy clements one of thosedrivers hoping to make it into the chase. you see the track bar adjustment. caution, ryan reed.

>> ryan reed doesn't make to it pit road. we had mentions that was going to be an issue,guys trying to get to pit road under green flag conditions. it's very difficult to get onto this pit road. >> the reason it's difficult is because thecommitment cone is so hard to see. you cannot see that commitment cone untilyou are almost all the way off of turn 4, approaching pit road. when you are in the middle of the corner youcan't see the commitment cone. you keep think you are going the see it andtrying to carry speed.

you see it and then it's too late to slowdown. the 16 of ryan reed on the racetrack, tryingto get slowed down. sees it now. too much rear brake. tries to get on the brakes too hard to slowdown to make that commitmentpins the car out. >> and right by him goes the 18 of kyle buschas he is spinning to get onto pit road. so the third caution of the afternoon hascome out. there have been 11 lead changes between sixdifferent drivers. that all taking place for the most part underthese green flag pit stop conditions.

kyle busch has been out front for 65 laps. we are questioning, though, getting onto pitroad, kyle busch goes to the left of the 97 of jordan anderson. you are not allowed to pass to the left gettinginto your pit stall until you are three boxes away. >> the way we understand the rule is thatyou can turn left approaching your pit box, you know, to get to your pit box, but thishappened so early on pit road. you can pass cars leaving but not gettingon to pit road. nascar has an interesting call.

>> and 97 is not running for position. and running slower than pit road speed. how is the rule enforced? under caution when you are come in for leadlap cars? this has been a point since kentucky. nascar says basically, you can't pass to theleft on pit road entry, so they penalized the 78 there. >> they will be looking at that 18. and what he just did on pit road under thegreen flag pit stops.

the 16 of ryan reed once again bringing outthe caution. there were 11 cars on the lead lap when thecaution came out. as they have cycled through with the pit stops,right now kyle busch being shown as the race leader. when we went away we were talking about kylebusch's pass on the left. it was the 97 of jordan anderson who was actuallycoming out of his pit stop and back onto pit road and exiting and kyle was coming in. and nascar says because they were not comingin at the same time, as jordan was leaving pit road and kyle was coming on, there wasno penalty.

>> lot of questions tomorrow in the driver'smeeting. i will be the first to say i thought i understoodthe rules clearly after the 78, no passing to the left. but nascar is saying the 97 already pitted. i agree. a lot of questions will be asked in the driversmeeting. that's what happens with rules. the rules have to be defined and decided howthey are enforced and if they are going to make exceptions to the rule.

>> we have got a speed penalty on pit lane? >> i did? >> that's what they said. >> i mean i don't doubt it. i just don't believe it. i was conservative that run. >> not conservative enough, apparently. >> no, in nascar they have added a lot oftiming lines at a lot of racetracks and we have seen consistently the speeding penaltiesgoing up.

>> kyle busch and kyle larson once again makingup the front row. busch on the outside. larson on the inside. green flag back in the air. elliot sadler on the high line helps propelthe 18 out in front easily. >> sadler trying to work the outside. >> the caution out quickly. >> back it down. wave him off.

wave hymn off. he's inside, fluid in the street. >> the 15 just came onto pit road and intothe garage area. definite loo some fluid coming from underneaththat car. s that travis kvapil. le' take that into the garage. and so all the officials noticed that line. kvapil was down on the apron. so hopefully before a lot of that fluid cameout of the car he was already down low enough

that he was not in any of the racing grooves. free pass is going to go to the 44 of j.j. yeley. the last one went to the 33 of brandon jones. and with more on ryan seeing let's go to dave. >> the last time he came down pit road undergreen he was too fast understanding. under 4,000 rpm by his taco meter. he is going to back it down to 3900 the nexttime he has to come down on speed. he is going to top off one more time on fuel.

here's the big thing. by going to the back of the line here as theyrun, he has lost about half of his points gap to clements and armstrong who both runin front of him here now. at this point, seeing is in a more tenuousposition. >> just 14 points separating the two now,ryan seeing in 12th. and dakoda armstrong in 13th. but 14 points separate the two. >> back the rpm down to 37, 3600 for whatryan seeing is trying to do. still 14 to the good but you want to limitthose mistakes and not give armstrong an opportunity

to pass you. >> we talked about brandon jones and all thetrouble he has had. remember you mentioned he got the free passthe caution before. that still means when you get that free passyou have to start at the tail end of the longest now he gets to pull all the way back up. and there is only 12 cars on the lead lap. he will restart in 12th position, as opposedto being in 12th restarting in the 30th position. >> last time everyone was on pit road the62 got a speeding penalty. we heard about that from brendan gaughan.

look at the comparison from last year. last year there were speed sections, thisyear there is 14 speed sections. the longest section is 128 feet. a year ago it was 251 feet that separatedthose lines. >> rick just to be clear, this is how nascarcalculates the speed. they don't use a radar gun. it's basically time over distance. so there is these loops. what nascar used to have on pit road in 2015you would see a handful of red lines, loops

cut in theres they are electronic. they know when a car passed over it and calculatedthe next time they get to the next line. they have added more loops to make more callpit boxes on pit road. it was a simple calculation, but the issueis, the smaller the loops are, the give and take is gone. if you make a mistake and are too fast inone of those sections, you don't have as much distance to give the speed back. >> when they are entering the pit box theyare accelerating. and when they are leaving they are going asfast as they can.

so it's very difficult to get the timing correct. so when you leave your pit box you don't exceedthat pit road speed. much more difficult with more timing loops. >> brennan poole. riding along with him as he continues to workhis way around the track, running in the 17th spot, but a lap down. joey logano still searching for a win in the22. now he's already got a win in the 12. but the 22 for penske has not won an xfinityseries in 2016.

let's go to kelly. >> justin allgaier is making his way downfor fuel only stop. the team reminding him not to slide his tires. he lost a couple of spots on the pit stop. >> they are going to check the lug nuts onthe right front for joey logano. they feel they have a hole in the nose fromthe contact earlier. their going to put a piece of tape on it. >> clint bowyer came in for a splash of fuel. they can make it on one more stop from here.

>> he rolls in a little too far. that's over the front line. you can service your car there. that's a one-lap penalty. they pushed the 39 back for ryan seeing. for wanting an uneventful day, he is gettingmore excitement than they were looking for. >> just 14 points separating 12th and 13th. elliot sadler now on the front row. he will be on the inside of kyle busch asthey get ready to enter the restart zone.

erik jones in the 20 got that timed reallygood this time on the high line. gives the 18 a push. we'll see if 42 and 1 can get organized inthe bottom lane. >> pretty good run for the front row as elliotsadler now drops back. and fighting for the second spot. erik jones. in that high line, trying to take advantageof momentum. here comes the 1 of elliot sadler again onthe bottom. >> second time he has been able to outdriveeverybody getting into turn 3.

if you are the guy on the outside you musthave a tremendous amount of security with that car on corner entry. >> close call for 42, kyle larson, as he wasworking his way up the track. and it was daniel suarez that was right therethis in front of them. those two fairly close. looks as though larson may have gotten intothe wall. >> definitely got into the wall. he lost the car and had to chase it up theracetrack. and he did get into the wall.

talk about how aggressive kyle larson is. that's a good example. >> and on that restart, nascar did come overthe radio and warn the 1 team to stay even with kyle busch. he was back about half a car length for therestart. but they let him know, you have to stay evenwith that lead car. joey logano looking ahead to the 42, kylelarson. doesn't look like a lot of damage to the rightrear after brushing the wall. >> doesn't look like a lot of damage.

the 42 just looks loose. doesn't look like he can commit to eitherthe throttle or the steering wheel. to make it easier, you see here it slidesup in front of the 19 a couple laps ago. just -- he makes contact for sure with theoutside wall. >> another vantage point here. that right here quarter panel is sensitiveto drivability with the race car. if you get the right rear quarter panel bentthe wrong way it doesn't have as much side force and the car doesn't drive anywhere nearas good. >> nascar warning the 1 of elliot sadler thathe needed to stay up with the race leader

as they were entering the restart zone. >> they want them door to door. they don't want anybody lagging back. >> kyle larson has said yes something is wrong. spotter said you might have a right rear goingown. something definitely wrong with the 42 car. teammate brennan poole going by him rightnow. right now, maybe a right rear going down forthe 42. staying out so far, to make sure that's thecase.

and the 16 just kept coming up the racetrack,coming up the racetrack. and larson didn't want to lift. right here, you can see it was pretty highup the racetrack, larson against the wall. can't go any her. 16 cars pushes him up. into the wall. that's a spot where either one of them couldhave prevented that wreck. they have a throttle in there. oh, turned left and got into the right rearquarter panel.

>> 42 coming off the wall. >> looks like he got loose. >> yeah. >> watching it from that view, looked likethe 42 got loose. when he got loose that shoved the left front,the whole front of the car went down and got into the side of the 16 of ryan reed. two cars running side by side, arrow dynamicallythey are not anywhere as good as when they are by themselves. >> 16 on pit road.

assessing the damage. doing their best to try to repair it hereon pit road. there has been conversation about pullingit behind the wall and going to the garage. the damage looks too extensive here i shouldsay on the front end of the race car, especially on the right side. team going to work but it is pretty severe. the window net already down for ryan reedas he anticipates going to the garage. >> he is in the lane up there, man. >> yeah, i think that's ryan reed saying hefelt that he had given the lane to kyle larson.

at first we thought the 16 had come up. then that angle looking down the back stretch. it's the curved back stretch wall. hard to get a reference. 42, looks like it got tight, comes back, itlooked a little loose and looked like it came we saw a couple cars coming down pit road,clint bowyer, justin allgaier, now the leaders have to decide what they want to do. are they going to continue to stay out andrisk having to pit under the green or is now the time to make their second pit of the day.

>> let's listen in to the 42 after what happenedon the track. >> i don't know what's up there. he ran into me off 4. tried to run into me off 2. >> so kyle is thinking that the 16 was cominginto him when he was going through 1 and 2. >> you could see the 16 was on the bottomof the racetrack, kyle larson was there. kyle slowed down to make sure they didn'tget together. and then they made contact off of turn 2. initially kyle looked to me he slowed downto try to prevent contact with reed coming

up the racetrack. later off the corner we clearly saw the 42get into the 16. i saw the back of the car come around first,i don't think kyle larson turned left and intentionally hooked him. the car came around, like you said startedout tight and ended up getting loose. nonlsz he got into the rear quarter panel. >> just past the halfway point. 100 laps complete of the 200 schedules forthis 300-mile race. kyle busch has been out in front for 85.

kyle larson led nine. daniel suarez, five. so they continue to work on the clean up afteronce again the 16 was up into the wall. and that has now opened pit road. and here comes kyle busch. elliot sadler, and the lead lap cars. cal kelly. >> you see the 1 car of elliot sadler. he had been saving fuel.

sounded like he was going to stay out. he is happy with the changes they made lasttime on pit road. he has more rear grip. still a little bit snug on throttle, littlebit snug in the center. >> they can make it on one more stop. daniel suarez as far back as 31st today. said the car is a little bit free on entry,tight on exit. they are going to fix with it air pressure. >> erik jones says his car is tight on restarts.

they will get four good year tires, fuel. kyle busch, four tires and fuel as well. he will not be the first one off pit road. >> it's elliot sadler. two tire stop. ryan preece gained nine spots by not changingtires. the new ford escape. life is a sport. we are the utility.

be unstoppable. >>> welcome back to chicagoland speedway. the xfinity series racing from chicagolandcontinues. brought to you by auto zone. up front, joey logano decided to stay outunder the most recent pit stops. so logano has chosen the outside line. elliot sadler on the inside. elliot sadler with a great restart that time. trying to stay even with logano as kyle buschwas behind logano on the restart.

and those two working together have movedout into first and second. >> kyle larson about four rows back went aren'tthe 1 and 2, he had momentum. he is going the climb the banking in 3 and4 to try to get to the outside of 88. >> nascar is taking another look at the restart. it is under review. >> three wide into turn 16789 it's hard forthe 20 car, erik jones to make that work. when you swer the corner that shallow it'shard to get the car the turn. >> suarez was in the middle. suarez now trying to battle with elliot sadlerfor position.

erik jones is going to follow him. >> jeff, we were a little surprised to seeawful these cars come to pit road. we thought the 7, 88, cars that pitted tenlaps going they were going to stay out. while they didn't change tires ten laps ago,they put fuel in, we thought that was going to be their strategy. >> logano did stick with that strategy andstayed out. all the other guys bailed out on the strategyand pitted with the leaders. >> 3 of ty dillon making the move around the7 of justin allgaier. the lead heating up now.

here comes kyle busch looking to the insideof joey logano. side by side at the line. and it's kyle busch now out front again. logano had been running consistently in thetop ten, but really struggling to get past sixth or seventh on the racetrack. trying a little bit of pit strategy, or notcoming to pit road to get the lead, clean air. but now he's dropped back to second and willhavist hands full with the 19 of daniel suarez who is closed the gp.

>> what a recovery by daniel suarez. had that accident on pit road early in therace. had to pit a second time to repair the fenders. rallied back to battle the 22 for the secondposition. >> as that fight for second continues let'sgo into the garage and mike massaro. >> during our commercial break, ryan reedwas able to look at the replay of what transpired on the racetrack, when you saw the replaywhat did you think? >> i thought it was really tight. it's hart to see.

looked like he tagged me. it was tight racing. i should have lifted gotten out of there. he was on my door tight coming out of 2 there. you know, he probably should have gave methe spot. he was probably upset, he had gone into thewall earlierer and was fighting back. he didn't want to give me the room. i understand his frustration. but it sucks we tore up the race car on lap100.

i felt like -- we had the spotter, almosthad him cleared there, and looked like he came off the wall and tagged me, and he hadenough. part of the deal. we'll move on to kentucky. we have got the chase to focus on. i'll watch the rest of this race on my xfinityx-1 app and see if there is not something i can learn. >> short day for ryan reed. he had been running inside the top 15.

now in the garage. >> another caution. this time it's fluid in turn 2 that has broughtthe caution out. field will stack back up again behind thetoyota camry pace car. they will go two by two once again for therestart. that time, it was the 22 of joey logano whochose the outside line and was able to make it work. but then the 18 of kyle busch, little bitstronger, fresher tires, was able to get by. gun a, in the 62, will get the free pass.

the last restart that was under review bynascar was deemed good. working on a little bit of fluid down in thelower groove in turns 1 and 2. as they clean that up, we'll take a quickbreak and be back for the restart here at chicagoland.. gilman: go get it, marcus. >>> next saturday nigh nbcsn, the first raceof the xfinity series chase. will be at kentucky speedway. that coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. eastern.

and we want to take a look at this week'sford drive to the championship chase standings. before the chase gets underway. erik jones, elliot sadler, daniel suarez allwith wins. they will receive bonus points as the pointswill be reset before that race in kentucky, the first race of the xfinity series chase. right now, the battle still on for the 12thspot. blake cook 25 points in front of dakoda armstrong. ty dillon and the 3 running seventh todayin this xfinity series race. big news coming out of rcr, especially regardingthe xfinity series.

on nbcsn earlier today, right after qualifying,richard childress came on and made the announcement that daniel hemric would be running full timein the xfinity series in 2017. the an an his north carolina native who grewup with the dillon boys will now race for richard childress. >> a good racer. a lot of short tracks around the southeast. he made the chase in the truck series thisyear. it will be a good move for him and rcr. more young talent at rcr, that's good.

>> good for the series. and a prominent owner committed to the series. keep promoting young talent. dave, what's going on with the 39 team. >> he pitted here. and the crew chief who calls himself a consultantexplained it this way. >> the safe thing to do is get tires and fuel. otherwise we'll have about a 15 high pressurelap window of possibility where we would be 15 laps having short pits.

so i think it's safe to do it in this situation. >> have to pit one more time. they have a set of sticker tires remaining,and of course they will take fuel. >> and a 19-point lead for ryan seeing asyou see the rows as we get ready for the restart. kyle busch and joey logano making up one row. logano on the inside. green flag in the air. >> outside line with the 20 of erik jonesreally good job of timing it getting into the back of the 18, giving him a push.

but 19 pushing the 22. >> good run for the 3 of ty dillon. gaining two position, maybe three on thisrestart as he look to the inside of the 19. trying to get by daniel suarez as well. fih ty dillon with a great restart. >> kyle larson trying to find a place whereno one else is jumps up on the outside the make it three wide. >> momentum running for the 42 up high. >> kyle busch out front.

elliot sadler. joey logano, kyle larson the top five. >> you know the 42 has been gott good on thetop on older tires. it's surprising he can make the top lane workhere on fresh tires on the restart. >> and he almost gets into the wall againoff turn 2. >> how about the 22 falling back, though,after starting on that front row, erik jones and elliot sadler both able to get by nowthe 42 -- oh, again the wiggle there. 42 of kyle larson was able to get by. daniel suarez.

>> struggle with the pit strategy. the 22 stayed out. he has older tires. that's going to hurt him. >> i'm sure he thought more people were goingto stay out with him. he was the only one that pitted early. and didn't stick with that strategy. that didn't create any separation betweenhim and the guys that have the new tires. >> bowyer goes by in the 88.

here comes justin allgaier in the 7. kyle larson, kyle busch, clint bowyer, joeylogano, all in the top ten. look. little rubbing there. >> that was close. the 22 was coming up the racetrack and joeylogano and daniel suarez was there. at the may have contact. when you get book the back of somebody, theright rear quarter panel sometimes that cannot work out well as we saw in the corner earlier.

the two fine a way to work it out. >> outside. >> gap between kyle busch and erik jones,8/10 of a second for the lead. see again the 22 and the 19 pretty close toeach other. >> joey assumed wars was going to be higheron the racetrack off turn 4. suarez was not using all the racetrack andthey got together. >> laps continuing to wind down for this 300miler, 200 laps from chicagoland. the last race of the regular season for thexfinity series. after this one, it will be 12 drivers thatwill be able to fight for the championship.

we ride along with joey logano. the eyes looking, with up in the mirror ashe has the 7 of justin allgaier all over the back of him you can see the ump abouts. helmet moving around. how rough this track is. >> joey logano lost the bottom of the racetrack. he drove in there and he tried to carry speedto the middle of the corner. his car just will not stay where it needsto. doesn't have the handling like they need iton the 22.

>> kyle larson moved up to fourth, marty. >> and rick, here comes that 42 once againfor kyle larson. and they did check that damage from earlier,the right rear quarter panel is fine. they knocked it out a little bit. the left rear is fine as well. he said i don't know what happened, but thecall is all of a sudden very tight. remember he has been loose much of this race. one thing for sure, the 42 the kyle larson,he has been very aggressive this afternoon. >> he has been exceptionally aggressive.

this is what we talked about with kyle larson. we all love to watch him race. et cetera a so much fun to watch him becausehe treats every lap like it's the last lap, but thinking about tomorrow's race, can youafford to do this, to be in the wall twice, to be in the side of other cars. today he has nothing to lose lks but goinginto tomorrow he has to think about that. points matter. you can't afford bad races. >> one of the other variables that will comeinto play tomorrow when he is running in the

sprint cup series is restarts. he had this to say about restarts in the xfinityseries. >> not good on restarts. >> 10-4, we'll relay the message. >> so kyle larson running fourth. made the comment about the engine is not verygood, not pulling very well on the restart. >> that's -- you know, that's some of thetricks to restarting, especially in the xfinity series. these cars are restricted down a little biton horse power.

and it's really hard to get them rolling. it's very important them to accelerate. sounds like kyle larson doesn't feel likehis is accelerating as quick as it should. >> larson continuing to run right up againstthe wall. daniel suarez closing the gap now as he hascaught up to the 42. suarez, pretty good rebound after the issuegetting off of pit road, the damage that was done to both sides of that number 19. made his way back up into the top five. >> difficult if you are suarez running behindlarson.

he is running in the top over in 1 and 2,all the way against the wall. suarez on the bottom of the racetrack. now he has no arrow disadvantage because nobodyis in front of him in the middle of 1 and 2. he makes up the grounds on 1 and 2. then as they go to 3 and 4, they both go tothe bottom. so that really hurts suarez in 3 and 4. now he has that car in front of him, losesdown force, the car doesn't make the grip he wants it to make.

it won't surprise me if we see suarez quicklymove to the outside of 3 and 4 to try to get that clean air. >> we'll see what strategy suarez uses askyle busch continues to lead. you will see it all as we go nascar non-stop. â™ªâ™ª kyle busch, the 2015 champion! â™ªâ™ª toyota. >>> welcome back to chicago, illinois. tomorrow on nbcsn, the first race of the chase. the sprint cup series racing from chicagoland.

that telecast presented by toyota. coverage begins at 2:00 p.m. >> it is going to be great. can't predict the chaos the playoffs bring. the pressure mounting. race one, 16 drivers trying to work to advanceout of the round of 16. trying to give them a guaranteed spot in theround of 12. >> welcome back to the nascar xfinity seriesracing from chicagoland, drive for safety 300.

the pole for tomorrow's race will go to kylebusch, who is leading this xfinity race. and won the camping world truck series racelast night. he has swept the truck and xfinity seriesraces in the same weekend 12 times before. >> not just before, rick. but with qualifying canceled due to weather,all 16 chase drivers will take the front eight rows. it couldn't be any better for the drop ofthe green flag. >> it will definitely be exciting from thedrop of the green flag all the way until the checkers.

as that will be the first opportunity forchase drivers to get a win and secure their position in the round of 12. erik jones still able to stay out in frontof the 42. >> not going to be long, though. that 42 is coming quickly. he has been about .3 of a lap quicker thanerik jones. caught him quickly. we've seep this consistently with kyle larson. he is better on long runs in the cup racesand the xfinity races, especially on the top

groove races, he gets the top line moving. makes a bold move to the bottom. he gets the top line working and it is amazinghow fast he can go on long runs. >> he says the car is worse this run. it's more sluggish -- his word, sluggish,but tight. tighter conditions for that 42 car. yet he is still finding time and making speed. still doing good and getting around the 20car. >> what i like is he is not committed to thetop on both ends of the racetrack.

that last time he ran at the bottom o and4. goes down to the white line. the goal is to use the momentum to get tothe outside of the 20. i think if he could get to the outside, hewould easily clear. >> they will all get one more shot at makingadjustments to the cars as they have to pit at least one more time for fuel before theend of this race. >> drivers talking about clean air and theimportance of clean air. this is it right here. kyle larson ran him down.

and he got to this this distant and tauldstalled out. he hasn't been able to make more ground up. it's hard when your car makes list grip. and that's why you want to be where kyle buschis. obviously everybody wants to be leading therace, but it's such an advantage to be ahead of the pack. >> erik just put his hand up on the wheel,where are you lapped cars going? i need that line, need to be in that positiongetting into turn 1. for erik jones, this is his only shot.

moving up to sprint cup next year with furniturerow. announced earlier they are going to add asecond time. won and done in the truck series. now he has a same chance in the xfinity series. >> how about that, a metric rise for the 20and erik jones. winning a championship in the truck series,the very next year, potentially winning a championship in the xfinity series, and movingonto the cup series. >> lot of young drivers in the country lookup to erik jones as an example of how if you win races on local level, if you do it theright way you will get that shot.

it's hard for young drivers but they lookat him and say he won his way to the front. it wasn't because he had sponsors, becauseof any of that. he had talent. it's how he has done it. he won championships, won races. he is the example they all look up to. >> rick, that xfinity series chase startsnext week. five of the seven tracks in it are close tothe same shape and size as the chicagoland speedway.

erik jones says i personally like mile anda half tracks and my team does very good at them. he to could get that second championship ina row. >> elliot sadler, since taking two tires hecalls his car a ten out of ten. things looking up for the 1 car. >> how about daniel suarez. contacted on pit road at the beginning ofthe day. goes back to 35. the car much better.

as it stands right now, they will go intothe chase as the number three seed. the crew chief talked about bringing his bestcars to the chase. he said next week at ken condition they aretaking the michigan winning car, the best car in the fleet. >> justin allgaier would love to pick up hissecond win on his home track here at chicagoland. he started out so strong, which is unusualfor a new team. he says not that they have become come placent,but the last couple of races has been about making changes to see what they can do toget better heading into chase. right now allgaier saying he is tighter onthis run on these tires than he was the last

time out. behind him, we will he see the 3 of ty dillon. they came to chicago with a completely differentpackage than they have ever run before. they found some speed in the simulator andwere excited to see how it would play out here. ty wanted some changes. it's getting tight. and crew chief is telling him to get ready. we are going to short pit you to try to makeup spots.

>> short pitting, coming in before everyoneelse to change the pressure in those tires. we go nascar non-stop. and you won't have to guess when we'll turnup. because after all we should fit into yourlife. not the other way around. you have seen kyle busch out front. has about a .of a second lead as we look atthe toyota driver update. first, second, and fifth for kyle busch, erikjones, and daniel suarez, all out of joe gibbs racing.

kyle busch has been dominant. 124 laps led of the 147. there will be green flag pit stops comingup. they will be coming up fairly soon. we heard the strategy potentially for the3 car of ty dillon. maybe short pitting, coming a little bit earlierand trying to take advantage of the fresher tires. we were listening in to elliot sadler momentsago as far as strategy on the track. >> trying to run the top.

what do you think, is that better or worse? is this you were slower up there. that's where the 20 is running. 18 is running top. 42 top. we can learn from it. >> spot her saying top, top. what that means is they are running the topin turns 1 and 2 and the top in turns 3 and 4.

elliot sadler knows they are running thatin both ends of the racetrack. you heard elliot sadler say it was fasteron the bottom but these guys are quicker. even though he is slower, he is saying runthe top, learn what your car can do up there ultimately that's where we need to be to twinrace. >> green flag pit stops getting underway. clint bowyer in the 88. erik jones has closed the gap to 4/10 of asecond between kyle busch and erik jones. >> rick, he gave up seventh place to comeinto pit road. he said i'm in a box.

it's loose here but hasn't turned the wayi need it to. a chassis adjustment, track bar adjustment,four fresh tifrs, last fill of snowo fuel and see what he can make up from here. >> i like that strategy, getting on pit roadearly to take advantage of fresher tires. >> it is a going to be a cat and mouse gamefor the three leaders to see who goes to pit road first. if he can beat the other car by one lap hewill be the leader. >> ty dillon said his car was bottoming outharder and getting freer. the crew has given hip four fresh tires.

>> air pressure, four tires, and fuel. >> the 1 of elliot sadler started a ten outof ten tight but got better. he says it's tight through the nilg and off. the team promising to make it better. you see a chassis adjustment and hoping thatfour tires instead of two will help him. >> paul menard had to rally back from an earlyrace incident when he had a tire go down. made his way inside the top 15. air pressure adjustment, four tires and fuel. >> the fastest car the last ten laps or so.

he says the car was too tight. they are going to make an air pressure adjustmenttrying to free it up like it was earlier in the race. >> justin allgaier said he was tight on thisrun as well. they made a slight chassis ajusticement andthey will give him four good year tires, snow fuel. >> joey logano on pit road said the car istoo tight at the 2/3 point of the corner. he said they went too far on the last adjustment. >> erik joneso has the cub crew of denny hamlin.

they will try to beat the cub kree of kylebusch. time is 11 seconds for a four tire stop. boy, they exit just the way they came in. >> daniel suarez with the cup crew of carledwards. loose entry, tight in the center, loose onexit. they made an adjustment trying to change thesettings going into the corner and off of >> kyle larson being told he has to servethe a penalty for speeding on pit road. >> 42 came to pit road a lap before the 18of kyle busch. kyle busch was more efficient on and off pitroad.

actually kept the lead. but with the speeding penalty it was all fornaught. >> brennan gun a on pit road. he says he needs the car to cut a little bitbetter. they are informing to make an air pressureyou a just men. four fires and fuel as well. last time on pit road he had a penalty. he has overcome it and runs up inside thetop 15. >> behind that, 42 of kyle larson servingthe pit road penalty.

only 44 to go. >> currently 16 on the lead lap. jeremy clements running 16th. more than likely will lose that position asryan preece out front. once he pits kyle busch will be the race leaderonce again. and there ryan preece now losing the leadto kyle busch. kyle busch by the 51 of jeremy clements. >> kyle busch has had really good takeoffspeed. he has been faster when they first take offthan erik jones has been.

so right now, without kyle larson, with thatpenalty, kyle larson off, nowhere near, it enables kyle busch to take it a lib easier. he doesn't have to take full advantage ofthat speed, save a little bit of tire. because, remember, at the end of that run,we saw erik jones running him down. kyle busch has got to have in the back ofhis head that erik jones is a little better at the end of the run. maybe save little tire here at the start ofthe run to be better at the end. >> it could be ironic in the situation oferik jones chasing down the 18 of kyle busch. because the reason that eric jones is evenin a race car in the upper tier of nascar

is because of kyle busch. kyle busch was racing against erik jones. jeff, you had mentioned at a local short trackin the snowball derby. a very big race for late models. and kyle busch actually got beat by erik jonesin the late model car. and kyle went to joe gibbs and said, thiskid's legit. he's good. as the caution comes out. kyle said, you have to hire this kid.

we've got to get this kid in a truck or acar at the highest level because he's got that talent. so kyle busch actually hired him and put himinto a truck. >> erik jones goes on, wins the truck serieschampionship. now in the xfinity series. potentially could win the championship inthe xfinity series. and then will be moving to the cup seriesnext season. >> this caution will help kyle larson. he was able to stay on the lead lap, currentlyin the 14th position.

looks like one or two cars that need to goto pit road. he should line up 11th or 12th on the restart. with 40 to go, i am not sure he will recoverbut at least he has closed back up to the leaders. >> 42 has dug himself into a hole. fast race car. he tried to get by suarez and carried so muchspeed, he couldn't hold it. gets into the wall, damages the right rearquarter panel. and then put him in this position.

he was racing with ryan reed. turn 2, right quarter panel of ryan reed. more damage to his car. and after running the leaders down, come downpit road under green, caught speeding. three miss taiks today for kyle larson. those are mistakes he cannot afford in tomorrow'srace. the quality of competition here today is tough. but not arizona tomorrow. it's harder to overcome these problems inthe sprint cup race.

>> this is what kyle larson had to say onthe radio after the speeding penalty. >> barely flashed to red. now that the loops are shorter now harderto get away with it. >> good point. >> it has affected a lot of people. we have seen a fike in pit road penalties. it's difficult. we talk about it every race, how fun he isto watch. how fast he is.

all these kinds of thing. he has to find way to bring it down just alittle bit. still keep that speed but bring it down. young race carr -- he is a young race cardriver learning how to manage long races. it is not easy. >> nine speeding penalties already today. the average at this racetrack, 3.7. again, the addition of the speeding linesor speeding zones on pit road definitely has increased the penalties.

but that has been at virtually every track. those speed zones have been added. drivers using what they had done previously,it's not working. that's something we are going to continueto talk about as we see the 1 of elliot sadler peel off from the fourth position to comedown pith pit road. >> there was a debate whether or not theyshould come to pit road. elliot saying whatever you think gives usthe best chance to win this race. forget about points. they want another race headed into the chase.

they are changing the tires now. looks like it will be a four-tire change forthe 1. meanwhile, blake cook is trying to point hisway into the chase. he stretched it out all the way to the endof his fuel run. no adjustments for the 11. just four tires and sunoco fuel. >> the 39 of ryan seeing gives up 1 positions. he got back on the lead lap from that run. he was off strategy from earlier.

he has a lot of adjustments. >> the debate for a lot of these teams wasthis would have been their last set of tires. not the case for the 22 team. remember they stayed out earlier. they still have another set of tires and havefour fresh good years on the 22. we'll see if he can make progress on thisrun. >> see if joey logano can utilize the freshgood year tires. kyle busch out front. today we're gonna be comparing the roll formedsteel bed of the chevy silverado to the aluminum

dug hole. they had to overcome it. who is going to come out of here tomorrowin good position? and who is going to have ground to make up? >> you know, an interesting turn of eventshere, the 42 too fast during the green flag cycle served his penalty w. the quick cautionand the cars that pitted, kyle larson is back up to 7th. basically being of benefit of cars decidingto pit. >> cleaning the tires, warming them up asthey get ready for the restart down the back

stretch. two by two once again. erik jones on the outside. kyle busch on the inside. >> that's interesting. we've seen -- we've seen what's so importantis the cars behind pushing. so i wonder if the 18 of kyle busch lookedin his mirror and saw clint bowyer behind him and thought he is going to be a betterpusher. that's a tough call.

he tried the inside once early. that couldn't work. he tried the outside, and that didn't workeither. >> erik jones on the outside. back in the restart zone. back under green. >> nice job of timing that. into his rear bumper at the right time. pack making their way into turn 1.

clint bowyer dropping back a bit. allgaier able to get in front of him for third. the race still on for the lead. erik jones still up high. kyle busch right on the white line. up the racetrack he goes. blocked the 20 as they come across the start/finishline. kyle busch back out front. >> on the bottom of the racetrack.

using the apron. trying to shorten the racetrack up all hecan. >> justin allgaier, great story from riverton,illinois. illinois native. trying to take second away from erik jonesnow. >> tough pass. 20 of erik jones laid his fender on the quarterpanel of the car and took the momentum away from the 7 car. >> they continue to fight door to door asthey work their way through 1 and 2 now.

and kyle busch loves the see that. as they ballots for second, et cetera allowingkyle busch to extend his lead a little bit there. >> see how loose jones got there off turn2. >> check up. and allows the 7 of justin allgaier now cleanerair as he is not fighting door to door anymore. see if he can have anything for kyle busch. no one has with 33 to go. >> erik jones on the outside, trying to laythe throttle down.

gets way loose on the exit of 2. had to lift off the throttle, lost his momentum. >> you mentioned on the restarts how it canbe the car behind you that makes all the momentum, kyle busch futures the hand out the windowand gives the 88 a wave. he wants 88 on his bumper like that to pushhim past the 20. >> shouldn't he be shifting. >> well he has two hands. i don't know what's on the wheel. >> one of them is sticking out the window.

he gets his happened back on the wheel beforehe shifts. he is not driving with his knee. i promise. >> you mentioned justin allgaier in the secondposition, rick. i'll call it a hometown race for him, alsofor brand. you see the back straightaway covered withthe brandt decals. they have lot of employees here today, associateswith them. a good run for the 7. >> looking to go three wide here.

ty dillon in the 3. down at the bottom, elliot sadler in the 1was looking to go in the middle, and 42 of kyle larson up top. take a look at this. dillon trying to side draft the 42 to slowhis momentum down. if you can get the right front phenomenoneron the car next to you's left rear quarter panel it stacks all the air on the spoilerand puts drag on that car and slows it down for the straightaway. >> big run for the 42.

coming up behind the 22 of logano. logano goes down low. the 42 goes by on the outside. >> about the same point of the run that wesaw last time where kyle larson's car was not great on new tires. it takes time. doesn't fire off as quick as the other cars. once it gets running, he gets rhythm up topand they see the speed. >> so much time from the start of this restart.

we are already -- he was back 4.5 seconds. it willing going to be hard to overcome that. >> this is the 42/22 just a bit earlier. how close it got. >> kyle larson running ninth. ty dillon in front of him. kyle larson looking to the inside now. >> this is what the 42 needs right here. he needed the 3 to run the bottom.

he had the top lane. he was really good driving off the cornerin the top lane. hopefully this gives him enough momentum tocross the 3 over. >> got a good run on him. kyle larson is going to stay up near the walland try to make the pass. >> ty tried to block him. kyle got there so quickly. when he got to the corner he wasn't able toget to the bottom, the 3 car wasn't. with these cars with less horse power momentumis so important.

if you have to breathe out of the throttleor not go back to the throttle as kickly as you want to it kills your speed. >> you go up to the battle for the lead, the7 of justin allgaier on the wall. and did 20 of erik jones. they have moved up. the leader kyle busch. in the last laps they have closed the lead. all cars within a second. >> brendan gaughan lost a spot to larson inthe 42.

larson continuing to move toward the front. the laps winding down. just 26 to go. not enough time for larson to be able to getup there, reel in the 18 of kyle busch. but kyle busch has his hands full alreadywith justin allgaier and erik jones. >> i don't think kyle busch has seen the lastof erik jones yet. he is trying to work that top end. i agree kyle larson may be the fastest carhere. we don't know.

we haven't seen him battle with kyle buschyet. but with only 25 to go. it is a long ways to go. >> larson, five seconds behind kyle busch. the gap will be half a second behind kylebusch and allgaier. about 8/10 of a second in front of justinallgaier and erik jones, running second and third. let's go to dave burns. >> the 18 of kyle busch of course is not eligiblefor the xfinity chase.

his teammate erik jones is. and jones would like to get around allgaierand the 18 of kyle busch to get the moral victory but also to get the momentum headinginto the chase that a victory would give him. his last win in the series, july 30th at theiowa speedway. >> last yeart scott graves the crew chieffor suarez won the xfinity series with chris beuscher. he says this year since they won in michiganit has been laid-back. caution, kyle busch spun. >> around goes the 18 of kyle busch.

>> right rear down. he was sliding through the turn. >> looks like the left is gone as well. >> well up, but maybe shredded. >> the second and third place guys. >> hit the wall, blew a tire. >> the second and third place guys startedto run him down. i wonder if he had a tire going down. >> he tapped the wall ten or 15 laps ago.

and it underdo did some of the metal workunderneath the fender. but there was a gap there. and that wasn't normal. >> get another look. you see the right rear tire as well. >> entering turn 1, you can see he is offthe pace there. the car is moving oorn. you see how quickly the 7 pinches in. does a great job of missing the 18.

so does the 20 of erik jones. he definitely had a tire issue there on cornerentry. and you can't control it on corner exit. >> those two guys behind him. you don't expect the leader to slow down likethat. they did a nice job to avoid him. >> allgaier ducking to the left. watch this. >> erik jones, how close that is.

>> erik jones is looking at the 7. he is more focused on the 7. and all of a sudden the 7 starts to move downand twlz the 18 in front of arng jones. a good move to miss him. now we see the 7 and 20 making their way onthe pit road. >> justin alexander the crew chief for paulmenard saying take your cues from the leaders. if they come down pit road, follow them. that's chaktly what happened. the call for menard is a two tire change.

they will work on the right side. and taking on sunoco race fuel. >> justin allgaier pits for the lead on hishometown track, he says he was too tight on exit. otherwise good. four fires. >> longer here on the left side, dave. >> erik jones liked his car. he will get four fresh tires and fuel andhead off pit road.

paul menard took two tires only. >> menard's two tires moves up two spots. justin allgaier, erik jones getting four tires. kyle busch, right rear going down, and aroundhe goes. [ laughter ]>>> while we are under the eighth caution here in chicagoland take a look at what ishappening tomorrow. nascar america at 1:30. countdown to green at 2:00. first race for the chase in the sprint cupseries, chicagoland at 2:30.

nascar america post race at 6:00. and the last race of the season for the inycar sear. that at sonoma. that begins at 6:30. what a battle they have building between thetwo penske drivers. simon p arc gino and willpower. willpower actually missed the first race ofthe season at st. pete. simon pagino, four wins as well as willpower,on the season. and right now they enter that final race a4 #-point deficit for willpower.

both drivers drive for team penske. so it is a guarantee that penske will winthe championship. it's just a question of which driver. >> pagino has had a great year. a breakout season. didn't have the best first i don't rememberat penske. here in year two seemed to put it together. a whole season-long run. >> pit crew for the 18 came over the walltoo soon.

18 has to start at the back of the field. >> elliot sadler and clint bowyer decidedto stay on the racetrack. they didn't come to pit road. they have older tires. and then you look at two of menard's. the 7 of allgaier. they have fresher tires. >> menard took two tires. justin allgaier, he did four.

so i like the position allgaier is in. in the outside lane. two guys have older tires. what's important is who can get acceleratingwith the old tires, who can get accelerating in the restart zone on this front row? who can lead this race into turn 1? because you are going to have to get awayfrom -- look at the 42 on the outside line. you know he is going high and he is goingto try to get to the front. you have got to build momentum and get itmoving.

>> outside of row 1, clint bowyer in the 88trying to make something happen. elliot sadler on the inside of row 1 as theycome into the restart zone. fanning out behind that front row, three wideas they go into turn 1. >> 7 needed to climb the hill and try to blockthe outside from kyle larson. here comes the 42. three wide up top. >> that is four wide, and one into the wall. it was the # 3 of brandon jones. he got into the wall.

he is still going. -- 33 of brandon jones. the battle for the lead. lgs out front. >> able to drive deep into turn 3. clear of clint bowyer. >> erik jones using the apron, trying to shortenthe racetrack as he goes into turn number 1. getting by the 88 of clint bowyer.

again, the older tires on the 88. he drives through turn 2 and onto the backstretch. >> that will make it easy for kyle larsonin the 42 to clear the 88. still 13 laps to go. a long time for these cars. >> joey logano in the 22. right along the white line. >> we haven't seen our last caution, i wouldsay. a lot of aggressive racing.

now that erik jones crossed the 1 of elliotsadler. he has to get by him quickly. if he can't, kyle larson is going to be comingat a high rate of speed. got to try to find a way around now. >> elliot sadler trying to make that number1 as wide as he possibly can. choose the right line. he is going down low in front of erik jones. and after all this time we have two xfinityregulars at the front of this field. so much talk about larson, busch, logano,but these two i believe are who we are going

to see battle all the way to miami. these are the two championship favorites. >> elliot sadler in a late race battle madea mistake and was able to withstand the battle or the charge coming from denny hamlin. he is used to being in this situation. >> he has to focus out the windshield. the 20, i believe as he gets later in thisrun the top will come in, a couple more laps and that will open up options and it willbe hard for elliot sadler to hold him behind him.

>> there he goes. first move into the middle of the racetracktrying to get the outside to work. let's see if he gains down the back straightaway. >> less than ten laps to go. race for the lead continues. jones is going to run a higher line. sadler ducks down to the bottom of the racetrack. all the while, still closing the gap, the42 of kyle larson. >> elliot has a decision to make right now.

does he go to the top and try to block themomentum or go to the bottom. >> he goes to the bottom. erik jones stays up high. they get bonus points. >> big stake coming. big run. lot of momentum. look to the inside. erik jones goes by as they go into turn 3.

>> it's not done yet. >> up the racetrack he goes. he completes the pass. >> he is on fresh tires. he got a huge lead on third. >> elliot did all he could, got as close tothe 20 as he could, trying to pull it off the spoiler. wasn't enough. >> just eight laps to go.

erik jones, 20-year-old out of michigan outin front. >> i'm impressed. i thought 1 would lose more time than he did. we'll see if we can find speed to stay intouch with the 20. >> right there he guessed that the 20 of erikjones to would go to the top of the racetrack but he went to the bottom of the racetracka. wrong guess by elliot. that's all you can do is try to guess whichdirection he is trying to go in and you you do the opposite.

he will be 3, 4, 5/10 of a second quicker. he is going to need that switch right nowwith only six to go. >> seeing the gap close. this is going to help w. the 1 of elliot sadlerrunning the bottom allows clean air up top. >> trying to take away the high lane, butthe 42 easily by the 1 of elliot sadler now. kyle larson into second. less than six to go. >> remember, early in the race we heard thespotter telling elliot sadler other people were running it but elliot was slower on thetop of the racetrack.

he has to stay on the bottom. his car isn't as fast at the top. >> kyle larson is very good on the longerruns. does he have enough time? the team asked him is the car better on thisshort run? he said one word. better. he is trying to catch him. it is going to be an interesting last fivelaps.

>> he gained.5 of a second on that last lapwhile passing elliot sadler. >> five laps -- now four to go. four laps remaining from chicagoland. >> 2/10 quicker that lap. 2/10 of a sechlkd he is definitely faster. >> erik jones is already the winningest xfinityseries driver this condition season. >> if you are erik jones you have the samedecision to make as elliot sadler. he thinks his car is better down bottom. but 42 he knows is better up top.

when does he move to the top to try to protect. >> the gap was 200 feet. now it's down to 130. >> three laps to go. the gap less than half a second. >> erik jones has moved to the top. switched to the defensive mode. take away the line of the 42. right now erik jones fighting for three bonuspoints, for the win.

he will get three more bonus points to startthe chase. to the bottom of the track goes kyle larson. >> we saw a little while ago kyle larson tryingto slide drive into 1 very, very deep and trying to get in front of the car in frontof him. that's going to have to be his move as erikjones takes the top of the racetrack. >> erik jones stays in front of the 42 asthey go through 1 and 2. down the back stretch. what's the strategy now? does he try to take away that line?

here goes the 42 to the bottom. erik jones hangs on. he needs to do it one more time. one lap to go. sponsored by credit one bank. three bonus points on the line if erik jonescan stay out front, win his fourth race of the season. up against the wall goes the 42 of kyle larson. >> rubbed the wall.

cruise down here. >> through 3 and 4. for the last time. erik jones comes to the finish line. he'll see the checkers in chicagoland. >> how about that on a hot slick chicago scene? that's four stickers. very proud of you. this was not a easy one, but you did it.

>> what an incredible year. >> yeah! >> that young man has had. >> thank you. >> erik jones wins his fourth race of the2016 season. he is definitely the favorite going into thechase, which will begin next week. four wins, 12 bonus points for erik jones. >> great work, man. great work.

>> eric, just 20 years old. already has been tabbed by furniture row. he will run in the sprint cup series in 2017. but before he does that, he wants to add anotherchampionship to his resume. a year ago, he won the camping world truckseries championship. now, with this win, easily the favorite. seven races in the chase for the xfinity series. five of them mile and a half tracks. erik jones shows how good he is on this mileand a half before the chase begins.

and he did a great job doing everything heneeded to do. moved up. you said it, steve. he had a decision to make. he made the right decision. took away the line that kyle larson neededto get this win. so really nice move. veteran move by a young race car driver. >> 12 drivers are now set.

that will be the points as they will headto kentucky next weekend. a 12-point advantage. only three drivers found victory lane in thexfinity series, xfinity series regulars. erik jones, four wins. elliot sadler, two wins. daniel suarez, one win. brandon jones, blake koch, ryan reed, ryanseeing able to hang on to positions in the erik jones makes his way up to get the checkeredflag. celebration just beginning for eric jones.

we restarted sixth there. i didn't know if the camry was going to haveenough time to get back up to the front. we had a good restart. got cleared for third and had to go chaseelliot down. just a matter of time before we got aroundhim. what an awesome day. a win before the chase, this is great momentumfor us. i'm excited. this is our second win here at chicagoland.

couldn't do it without enter state at a time,jjr engines and nascar xfinity for putting it all together for us. >> what kind of a launching point does thisgive you for the chase? >> a lot of moments up. i wish this was our first ruined right here. but we'll go into kentucky with a full headof steam. our mile and a half program is great. great all year, it's nice to have a mile anda half win on the year. looking ahead to get to ken condition andchasing down another one.

to make it into the xfinity series chase.but for the drivers already in, this race is about fun. david suarez told me all i careabout today is the win. the question is, can he beat his teammate kyle busch. jeff burtonasked him the question a mole ago. he told me i think we can beat kyle, i think we maybe better than we were in the long run. >> erik jones is a 20-year-old nascar rookiefrom byron, michigan. he has a opportunity to win his first championship this year, thexfinity championship. he is already locked in. but he hasn't won since july. momentumis very important. if he take it home today it could mean a lot for this championship.let's stay here for opening ceremonies. as the junior rotc presents our nation's colors.please remain standing as raceway ministries

look at the race analysis for today's racefrom chicagoland. the race length, 200 lapse. 300 miles on this mile and a half track. it's45 miles per hour on pit road. that is going to be bringing the speeds way down, when theywill be going over 180 or 190 miles an hour on the racetrack. fuel window is 55 to 60laps. >> fuel use may come into play today. thegood year tires seem to be lasting well so the fuel will be stretched we will have acompetition caution on lap 25 due to the weather that came through last night.>> i have set up the undog story of ryan seeing. his small team. when you come down to theoverthe wall crew you will see a variety of uniforms and crew members. the pit box isfrom bk racing. but this group is from four

young, he is not afraid to take kyle buschon. did it early in the race. >> he knows he is in the chase. he has alreadywon, going to advance. he can be more aggressive if he wants to be.>> that's a great sound. when you are driving and your spotters says "new leader "you loveto hear it. you talked about momentum, we use that totalk about that through the season. we will talk about it a lot today. the rules packsand the down force and the limited amount of power it is about momentum. when you getthrough a set of corners well and get speed down the straightaway that carries you allthe way down and through the next corner you can continue to pass cars.>> kyle larson on the high line able to get

by the 1 of elliot sadler. we will a see kylelarson run probably higher line be that anybody on this racetrack as he will search for griparound this mile and a half. >> kyle busch in the middle of the racetrack.seeing if he can get a run on the 19 of suarez. the corner.>> options. that's what makes this racetrack toe much funnings. these drivers have options.as they enter the corner they don't follow each other's tire tracks. whatever line danielsuarez takes, kyle busch goes maybe to the third lane -- up two grooves. and look atthe momentum he carries through the front stretch.>> look at the speed down the straightaway. suarez has no choice bowe but to give himthe line. we'll see if suarez on the bottom

or in the middle can run the same speed orquicker. right here -- >> caution comes out.>> the caution does come out. it looks like the 70. derrike cope, has got into the wall.the right side smashed. >> right front tire coming off.>> heavy damage there. you see not just sheet metal but the right front tire is definitelynot pointed in the right direction. >> he was running 35th at the time of contact.let's see if we can see what happened. >> all by himself. some sort of failure, whetherit is the right front tire or some sort of problem with the success essential. but obviouslydrove into the torner and just did not turn. at chicagoland. kyle busch just taking thelead away from daniel suarez. suarez was out

front for the first four laps. kyle buschhas led the last two. and kyle busch, after starting on the inside and losing the leadto daniel suarez on the outside, and then taking the lead away from daniel suarez onthe outside, would you anticipate to see him restart on the outside?>> i was surprised he started on the inside at the start of the race. with the multiplegroove racetrack i go being able to carry momentum out of the corner, if you have gripthe middle is where you want to be. again, when you are side by side with the car onthe inside you are taking the air off his spoiler, making the car not drive so well.i will be shocked if he took the inside on this restart.>> they will double them up two by two once

debris is completely cleared off the racetrackafter coming off of the 70 of derrike cope. looks like everyone is going to stay out.pit road is open. no one driving on to pit road. daniel suarez out front early, battlingkyle busch for the lead. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so whenmy asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to mydoctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, likean inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems.breo opens up airways to help improve breathing

off today he discovered the car's balancewas extremely tight. so much he stopped on pit road last time down and they made significantadjustments to the race car, wedge, track bar, and pulled the spring rubber from theleft rear. brendan thinks that was the right move. they were more than willing to giveup track field. track fochlgs it's available on mobile, tablet,and connected tvs. download the app and fine out more at nbc sports.com/live. ross chastainrolling behind the wall. >> already seeing aggressive racing so fartoday. back here in 18th place, brandon jones in the 33 car, he had to start dead last becausehe had a problem in qualifying. started last in the field. already workedup to 18. nice job in only ten laps.

>> brendan jones was fast in the first practicethey had on thursday. and then yesterday a little bit of an issue during a practice.and they come back into the restart zone. kyle busch with an good car on the outside.elliot sadler just behind him in the number 1.>> 42 and 19 were pushing each other on the bottom. you saw suarez. look all the energyhe built up, with the push from the 42 he clears kyle busch. kyle busch lost the leadfrom the bottom and the top. >> he has to be scratching his head. normallykyle busch is very good on restarts. this time was kyle larson that gave the 19 a shove,assistance getting into 1. that momentum pays off for daniel suarez.>> look how fast 18 of kyle busch ran around

3 and 4. he is looking to catch the 19. suarezis going cross him over. turn 1. that's aggressive for teammates early. zig and zagging on thestraightaway. >> i was wondering how kyle busch got on theoutside. i was certain he was going on the inside. next thing i know he was trying theoutside. >> looking low as we ride along with suarez,who goes up the racetrack to catch it. you mentioned teammates and running aggressively,how about that move. had to turn right. otherwise he would havespun out. good thinking. watch here. they never touch. it's just they get so close itpulls the air off the back of the spoiler of the 19 car. cars starts to come aroundhe has to lift and take it up the racetrack.

>> paul menard, left rear tire is down. menardis trying to get it to pit road. and the green flag stays out. does.>> does a good job getting to pit road. that can be dangerous when you have to drivingacross the field. he was in eighth before he had the tire issue.>> the spotter did a good job giving him all the information he needed.>> a left side tire for menard going down. zand zan calling hmm down pit road. they aregoing to make a left side tire change only hoping to get him back out on the racetracktrying to stay on the lead lap. an unfortunate set of circumstances.>> it is unfortunate. with the competition caution coming at approximately lap 25, ifhe can stay the first car a lap down he can

get the free pass. we'll see. sometimes nascarextends when the competition caution comes out because of that early caution. they don'twant that to happen. they want it to happen on lap 25.>> it is a been fun to watch daniel suarez in the fourth position. we rode aalong withhim a moment ago. his crew chief said we are honestly approaching this weekend as if itis a chase race. you see him being aggressive. this is the car he ran at charlotte earlierthis year. they want to run it in the chase. it hasn't run since may. he says we had tobring it back out and double-check it. something that dive mentioned in the prerace, very muchon the mind of the 19 team, same tires for texas and homestead. he said we might learnsomething today that might help us win a championship

in miami. he says as a crew chief you havegot to learn whenever they can. >> you don't get a lot of track time. thefact that you know you are going to run this tire later in the chase, we talk a lot abouttracks and how similar they are. what tire you bring can be just as important. tryingto learn something about that tire could help them late they are year snits amazing howsome teams like certain tires. they always run well on a certain kind of irtoo much ofit's hard to quantify that. but there is no doubt that some drivers have more successon a particular tire than others. the points as they are on the track. armstrongright now 29 points behind blake cook who is currently in the 12th and transfer spot.he will be fighting for a championship if

how do i make my car faster because he isnot able to run away from these guys and make adjustments, and kyle will say, nope, i don'tneed any adjustments. on to pit road, kelly.>> for elliot sadler, in the 1 car it sounded like his car got better and better as therun went on. he is asking for more front grip. he said entry and exit were good, just tightin the center. he is going to get four fresh good year tires and fuel.>> don't make a big adjustment. daniel suarez says he is everywhere, worse in traffic. theyare going down on the track bar. >> kyle busch makes no changes. they had aphenomenal stop. >> some of them have to go in the grass racingoff of pit road. we saw the 3 of ty dillon

thing is happening. right front fender fixed fairly well. theleft front was fine on daniel suarez's car. he said i had nowhere to go. you mentionedthey took that extra half second to knock the spring rubber in because the car was extremelyloose. you have to wonder, would they have been in the mess had they decided not to dothat. >> those are the decisions you need to make.i agree to make that decision early. scott graves the crew chief for daniel suarez makesthat call, make the changes early when you have laps to recover from it.>> you mentioned kyle busch taking the outside, rick. one thing that's going to be interestingto see, this is the first time he hasn't lined

>> the 1 car is down on the apron. banginginto the back of the 42. 42 with moment up. had a flat tire. it's racible down there.now he has to get on the racetrack. the 48 only wanted to give him one car i had withth.and boyer was trying to take two. >> the 48 on pit road now to make sure theydon't have a tire going on. mike? >> it's either a tire going down or a loosewheel. not sure yet. we'll check on that for sure. it's a flat, i was told. they are goingto change all four because they don't know exact three which one went down. this is notwhat poole was hoping for in this situation. a slow stop as welling just over 20 seconds.>> rick, all this chaos -- this is supposed to be a fun race for the xfinity regulars.these drivers like brennan poole, he is in

the chase. this may be a precursor to tomorrow,which some of those sprint cup drivers are watching.>> think about clint bowyer how aggressive he was on the restart. he has been drivinga car in the cup series. hasn't been competitive this year, hasn'thad a chance to win. he has a car now that may have a chance to win. he is going to beaggressive. poole is getting up to speed trying to keep from getting a lap down.>> takes time to get this car wound up and come up with energy. you will see instantlyhow good the new tires are. doesn't take long to catch up. like you said, jeff, now, sittingall the way back in the 35th position. >> he is scored a lap down. paul menard rightnow is in the free pass position at one lap

down running 33rd. there are 32 on the leadlachl it's kyle larson who is out in front of the field. kyle larson has made the chasein the sprint cup series for the first time in his career after the big win at michigan.new kyle busch fighting to get back to the front. running second.>> i think it's worth pointing out when you look at the running order, kyle larson andkyle busch they are leading, one, two. sprint cup regulars but then we have other sprintcup drivers in the field. joey logano and clint bowyer, they are back in seventh andeighth. xfinity ricers, ty dillon, erik jones having good runs, up inside the top five.>> talked to ty dillon before the race started. he talked about how important this kind ofracetrack is for the chase. those guys that

do well here have a good chance in race.>> how many of the tires are falling off because we are seeing guys running on a differentpath on the track. >> at texas homeland homestead you see falloff. this weekend this good year tire holds on pretty long. 42, i haven't seen him runthe bottom yet. when the 18 came, he went right to the bottom. and 42 committed to thetop. see why there, the speed he carries coming from the top. >> kyle larson is so good at running the topof the racetrack. 18 has a good groove. we'll see what he can do. kyle larson continueson the top of the racetrack as 18 tries to make a move.>> 42 is going to try to cross him over here

on turn 2.>> with the momentum and run, 42 coming back down the back stretch. he will try to moveto the inside and take that spot back away. .>> right here he cleared him. it's going to be tight.>> the slide move for the 42. he took the lead, but then right away the 18 crosses backover, takes the lead back. racetrack. he knows the 42 wants the top of1 and 2, so he took it away on corner entry. did you into how loose kyle got when he triedto get under 18. and kyle got exceptionally loose into turn 1.>> is that early on when larson was trying to take kyle busch's line away? run wherehe runs so he doesn't have clean air? why

he ran to the bottom of the racetrack?>> i don't know why he ran to the bottom of the racetrack. ed a as good as he is at thetop of the racetrack i'm surprised when the 18 got to him that he went to the bottom.he must have gone there because i felt his car wasn't good enough on the top.>> erik jones by the 36 ty dillon, erik jones running fifth.>> if you are ty dillon, this has to be a good feeling. at this dillon is currentlya favorite. he is currently being outrun. this is the all-new 2016 chevy malibu. wow,it's nice. let's check it out. do any of you have kids? i do yes. this car has a featurebuilt in called teen driver technology, which lets parent's see how their teens are driving.oh, that's smart. it even mutes the radio

until the seat belt is fastened. will it keeptrack of how many boys get it in the car? (laughter) cause that could be useful. thisis ahead of what my audi has for sure. wish my beamer had that. i didn't even know thattechnology existed. i'm not in the market for a car but now i may be. i was made inthe shadows of greatness. shaped by the hands of legacy. forged in the fires of racing.(engine revving) i've been challenged, tested and proven. whether it's on that track oroff, the truth is- what you're made of... >>> monday and tuesday the voice is back.coaches miley cyrus and alicia case joining adam and blake. that changes everything. emmynominated the voice premieres monday and tuesday on nbc. one of my favorite shows.>> my wife and i love that show. amazing how

much talent those singers have. they startsinging, in beautiful voices. >> and with the coaches helping them out,they continue to grow. drivers trying to stay up in the top five, justin allgaier. kelly.>> what a weekend it is for justin. not only is it his 200th career start in the xfinityseries. it is a hometown race for him and his sponsor, brands. brands has about 600people here. when i talked to justin about it. he said i'm glad this race is not in thechase with all that's been going on. he says not that it's been distract fromming but ithas brought a lot of attention. he one before in chicago. it would be a heck of a celebrationtonight if he did it again. right now he is handling a tight race car.>> clint bowyer had contact on pit road and

on the restart. check out the right frontfender of the 88. if this gets pushed in just enough it could cause damage to the tire.but they made his car so much better handlingwise on the pit stop he didn't want to bring itin and after the smoke sort of cleared he decided to stay out. the team is evaluatinghow quickly they need to bring him in. >> i talked to the crew chief for joey logano.he said we hit a restart on how we approach the mile and a half track. they are comingin with a different mentality. right now the evaluation is car is too tight especiallyin 1 and 2. this was joey a moment ago. on this run right now struggling in 1 and 2.in 3 and 4 he said he is little bit free. >> marty, it has been an eventful day forbrandon jones. it began in dwaul qualifying

when he scrubbed the wall on his very firstlap. because of that, he didn't get a qualifying lap in. had to start at the tail end of thefield. had such a good race car at the drop of the green he made his way into the top20. had to serve a penalty after he overshot his box and had an extra man over the wallto help push him back. yet he is showing he has speed. this is what the team wants todo. they want to go into the chase with momentum. >> when we get to the playoffs. the chasebegins in kentucky, very next race for the xfinity series.>> we mentioned the 33. mike was mentioning the recovery. daniel suarez has moved up 16positions since the restart all the way into the ninth position.>> i love this camera shot, riding along.

want to go in, the top or the bottom. youhope the slower cars pick a line, and stay in that line. look at the speed. look at thegrand stand side. >> 180 in turn 3. that's the slower end ofthe racetrack. >> we talked about the recovery for danielsuarez. a host of problems sill on the 19 car. he is reported a vibration. then he saidsomething feels wrong with the rear end. tight and loose at different ends of the racetrack.and now the vibration has seemingly gone away for daniel suarez who continues to make progressdespite the damage he got on pit road earlier. you know when you open one window on the freewayand you get that pulse. that can happen, when the fender is loose it can move and shutterin the wind and that can feel like a vibration

of the engine to the driver.>> daniel suarez, again, after the issue on pit road has rebounded. currently in the topten. running ninth. trying to close the gap between he and joey logano. riding along withjoey logano looking back on daniel suarez. and joey logano, i know ath isn't a bad position.but this 22 penske car, is yet to win a race. he doesn't come down from the sprint cup seriesto run eighth. his goal is to be up front running with kyle busch andcal. we haven'tseen it out of this car. >> we talked about it early in the year. theychanged their program to make it so it's more like the tough cars. they have to reversethat. they are going to focus on the xfinity series and they are not -- when you don'trun well you don't learn anything. even though

the car is the same they are not able to takethe information they are hoping to dak outs of it.>> junior motor sports has found speed over the year. sadler and allgaier. junior motorsports, i know it's not named the same but it has a lot of tieings to hendricks motorsports. and how about their xfinity drivers, running currently third through sixth.>> what a season it has been for elliot sadler. top ten 22 times already this season. tieshis career best having run this many races. debating with his crew chief to go back onchanges they made on pit road last time. they say a wedge hurt his entry and exit. but then he thought maybe the car was comingto him. now he is saying they may need to

go back. they are in debate mode what to donext time they are on pit road. >> elliot sadler currently third. the 41-year-oldout of virginia. two wins already this season. we continue to watch xfinity series racing.look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when youhave copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make ithard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathebetter, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for suddensymptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicortis for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken morethan twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol.

comes out of it. a danger spot. you mentionedyou have seen pit crew members hit. cars can knock them out as well.>> there is two valve stemsing one for the tire and one for the inner liner.>> they have a back up the if the tire blows, they have another inner line that the carsfor safety matters are supposed to be able to help keep them off the wall a little bitbetter. as we watch kyle busch continue to work around slower traffic. kyle busch nowwith a /10 of a second lead overcal. much to the worried pointed. i haven't worriedabout it. i've slept fine. we need to run like we know how to do on mees mile and ahalf tracks. >> the 11 car came into the race with a 23point cushion. he has extended that now to

28 points. but he says this race has a tonof pressure for him. he said if we make the chase, we have already achieved our goal.then we can go out and have fun. so he said this race in chicago kind of feels like thelast race of the year. and then the rest will just be icing on the cake. well right nowhe said his car is just a little bit too free on entry, which carries through the center.he had a vibration early in the race. but a new set of tires seems to have cured thatissue. >> they do, but kyle busch has an issue withtraffic. behind him is the 42 ofcal. and closing quickly.>> 33 of brandon, they had a problem on pit road, he made a mistake in qualifying. theyare in this hole because of that. now they

are getting lapped. >>cal goes down to theapron to pass the # 3 of brandon jones. these two have a lead of over 4.5 secondsover elliot sadler. but kyle busch andcal are going to be racing for a sprint cup championshipstarting tomorrow in their sprint cup cars. this is a precursor. cal has been good atthis track, running the top, and not letting kyle busch guilty away in the xfinity race.>> the 42 ofcal has cut almost a half sec off the lead of kyle busch. much better here.really good in 1 and 2. he says the car is a little bit free. needs to be a little bittighter to get the 18. ne brought a new car this week. the last timethey did that, it was pocono and they won. expecting the same results here. they havegot to make the car a little bit tighter to

catch the 18 on the next set of stops.>> that will be the next test teams have to go through, not making mistakes coming offof pit road. >> we saw it in practice, too. we saw the88 of alex bowman spin out. jeff, you mentioned how difficult the entry to this pit road is.if you are running the top does it make it more difficult to get on the pit road.>> it does. cal spun out getting on pit road a few weeks ago. he has to not make that mistakeagain. >> telecast presented into auto zone. we woulddream about racing each other, in monaco. we were born brothers. competition made usfriends. wish bold in the 2017 camry. toyota. let's go places. upgrade season's here. igot my new iphone 7 from sprint. zero dollars.

low and drive up to the wall they use allthe racetrack. >> things heating up for third between letteris an-- between sadler and allgaier. pit stops happening.>> kyle larson told mike shepard he said we are good at the end of the run. if you canhelp me at the running of the run it's too he froo. they are going to make an air pressureadjustment. car is difficult to turn. the good year tiresthat they have on it already have an air pressure adjustment in them. he will get a full tankof fuel. >> track is getting loose in 3 and 4. butentry and exit in 1 and 2 with fine. they are going make a air pressure adjust men andfuel for the 3.

19 team. costing them time on pit road.>> sadler pits from the third position. you see the chassis adjustment. he was free, andthen off a little bit too snug through the center, four tires and fuel. right next door,justin allgire who has been battling a tight race car. four tires as well, and a chassisadjustment for the 7. >> how difficult is that? two guys racingon the track for position now racing off of pit road. the 1 and the 7, allgaier and sadler.and as they are cycling through the green flag pit stops, allgaier was scored as therace leader. marty? you see the track bar adjustment. caution,ryan reed. >> ryan reed doesn't make to it pit road.we had mentions that was going to be an issue,

guys trying to get to pit road under greenflag conditions. it's very difficult to get onto this pit road.>> the reason it's difficult is because the commitment cone is so hard to see. you cannotsee that commitment cone until you are almost all the way off of turn 4, approaching pitroad. when you are in the middle of the corner you can't see the commitment cone. you keepthink you are going the see it and trying to carry speed. you see it and then it's toolate to slow down. the 16 of ryan reed on the racetrack, trying to get slowed down.sees it now. too much rear brake. tries to get on the brakes too hard to slow down tomake that commitmentpins the car out. >> and right by him goes the 18 of kyle buschas he is spinning to get onto pit road. so

the third caution of the afternoon has comeout. there have been 11 lead changes between six different drivers. that all taking placefor the most part under these green flag pit stop conditions. kyle busch has been out frontfor 65 laps. we are questioning, though, getting onto pit road, kyle busch goes to the leftof the 97 of jordan anderson. you are not allowed to pass to the left getting into yourpit stall until you are three boxes away. you know, to get to your pit box, but thishappened so early on pit road. you can pass cars leaving but not getting on to pit road.nascar has an interesting call. >> and 97 is not running for position. andrunning slower than pit road speed. how is the rule enforced? under caution when youare come in for lead lap cars? this has been

a point since kentucky. the 78 there.>> they will be looking at that 18. and what he just did on pit road under the green flagpit stops. the 16 of ryan reed once again bringing out the caution. there were 11 carson the lead lap when the caution came out. by auto zone. when we went away we were talkingabout kyle busch's pass on the left. it was the 97 of jordan anderson who was actuallycoming out of his pit stop and back onto pit road and exiting and kyle was coming in. andnascar says because they were not coming in at the same time, as jordan was leaving pitroad and kyle was coming on, there was no penalty.>> lot of questions tomorrow in the driver's

meeting. i will be the first to say i thoughti understood the rules clearly after the 78, no passing to the left. but nascar is sayingthe 97 already pitted. i agree. a lot of questions will be asked in the drivers meeting. that'swhat happens with rules. the rules have to be defined and decided how they are enforcedand if they are going to make exceptions to the rule.>> fuel being topped off. we'll be right back. average response time? eleven minutes. toolate. she keeps a firearm in this safe for protection. but hillary clinton could takeaway her right to self defense. and with supreme court justices, hillary can. don't let hillaryleave you protected with nothing but a phone. i don't want to lie down. i refuse to liedown.

>>> beautiful views of chicagoland speedway.aerial coverage is provided by our partners at smithfield foods. as the field works theirway around the mile and a half. let's listen to brendan gaughan and his radio after beingcalled for speeding on pit road. >> we have got a speed penalty on pit lane?>> i did? >> that's what they said.>> i mean i don't doubt it. i just don't believe it. i was conservative that run.>> not conservative enough, apparently. >> kyle busch and kyle larson once again makingup the front row. busch on the outside. larson on the inside. green flag back in the air.elliot sadler on the high line helps propel the 18 out in front easily.>> sadler trying to work the outside.

>> the caution out quickly.>> back it down. wave him off. wave hymn off. he's inside, fluid in the street.>> the 15 just came onto pit road and into the garage area. definite loo some fluid comingfrom underneath that car. s that travis kvapil. le' take that into the garage. and so allthe officials noticed that line. kvapil was down on the apron. so hopefully before a lotof that fluid came out of the car he was already down low enough that he was not in any ofthe racing grooves. free pass is going to go to the 44 of j.j. yeley. the last one wentto the 33 of brandon jones. and with more on ryan seeing let's go to dave.>> the last time he came down pit road under green he was too fast understanding. under4,000 rpm by his taco meter. he is going to

back it down to 3900 the next time he hasto come down on speed. he is going to top off one more time on fuel. here's the bigthing. by going to the back of the line here as they run, he has lost about half of hispoints gap to clements and armstrong who both run in front of him here now. at this point,seeing is in a more tenuous position. and dakoda armstrong in 13th. but 14 pointsseparate the two. >> back the rpm down to 37, 3600 for whatryan seeing is trying to do. still 14 to the good but you want to limit those mistakesand not give armstrong an opportunity to pass you.>> we talked about brandon jones and all the trouble he has had. remember you mentionedhe got the free pass the caution before. that

still means when you get that free pass youhave to start at the tail end of the longest line. now he gets to pull all the way backup. and there is only 12 cars on the lead lap. he will restart in 12th position, asopposed to being in 12th restarting in the 30th position.>> last time everyone was on pit road the 62 got a speeding penalty. we heard aboutthat from brendan gaughan. look at the comparison from last year. last year there were speedsections, this year there is 14 speed sections. the longest section is 128 feet. a year agoit was 251 feet that separated those lines. >> rick just to be clear, this is how nascarcalculates the speed. they don't use a radar gun. it's basically time over distance. sothere is these loops. what nascar used to

have on pit road in 2015 you would see a handfulof red lines, loops cut in theres they are electronic. they know when a car passed overit and calculated the next time they get to the next line. they have added more loopsto make more call pit boxes on pit road. it was a simple calculation, but the issue is,the smaller the loops are, the give and take is gone. if you make a mistake and are toofast in one of those sections, you don't have as much distance to give the speed back.>> when they are entering the pit box they are accelerating. and when they are leaving they are going asfast as they can. so it's very difficult to get the timing correct. so when you leaveyour pit box you don't exceed that pit road

speed. much more difficult with more timingloops. >> brennan poole. riding along with him ashe continues to work his way around the track, running in the 17th spot, but a lap down.joey logano still searching for a win in the 22. now he's already got a win in the 12.but the 22 for penske has not won an xfinity series in 2016. zero dollars. sprint? i'mhearing good things about the network. all loss, visit sprintrelay.com. my brother andi have always been rivals. we would dream about racing each other, in monaco. we wereborn brothers. competition made us friends. wish bold in the 2017 camry. toyota. let'sgo places. when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? or stopto find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is

of them. those two fairly close. looks asthough larson may have gotten into the wall. >> definitely got into the wall. he lost thecar and had to chase it up the racetrack. and he did get into the wall. talk about howaggressive kyle larson is. that's a good example. with kyle busch. he was back about half acar length for the restart. but they let him know, you have to stay even with that leadcar. joey logano looking ahead to the 42, kylelarson. doesn't look like a lot of damage to the right rear after brushing the wall.>> doesn't look like a lot of damage. the 42 just looks loose. doesn't look like hecan commit to either the throttle or the steering wheel. to make it easier, you see here itslides up in front of the 19 a couple laps

ago. just -- he makes contact for sure withthe outside wall. >> another vantage point here. that righthere quarter panel is sensitive to drivability with the race car. if you get the right rearquarter panel bent the wrong way it doesn't have as much side force and the car doesn'tdrive anywhere near as good. as they were entering the restart zone.>> they want them door to door. they don't want anybody lagging back.>> kyle larson has said yes something is wrong. spotter said you might have a right rear goingown. something definitely wrong with the 42 car. teammate brennan poole going by him rightnow. right now, maybe a right rear going down for the 42. staying out so far, to make surethat's the case.

>> jeff, is this the m.o. of the 42, of kylelarson, an aggressive driver, maybe stepping over the line just a bit? that time the 16of ryan reed coming across the nose of the 42. and pretty hard into the wall, the 16.>> that wreck took about three seconds to happen. the 16 of ryan reed had -->> coming in here. >> he is going to come out now.>> we need to get to pit road. >> 16 had larson on the outside of him andlarson wasn't going to give the spot up. and the 16 just kept coming up the racetrack,coming up the racetrack. and larson didn't want to lift. right here, you can see it waspretty high up the racetrack, larson against can't go any her. 16 cars pushes him up. intothe wall. that's a spot where either one of

them could have prevented that wreck. theyhave a throttle in there. oh, turned left and got into the right rear quarter panel.>> 42 coming off the wall. >> looks like he got loose.>> yeah. >> watching it from that view, looked likethe 42 got loose. when he got loose that shoved the left front, the whole front of the carwent down and got into the side of the 16 of ryan reed. two cars running side by side,arrow dynamically they are not anywhere as good as when they are by themselves.>> 16 on pit road. assessing the damage. doing their best to try to repair it here on pitroad. there has been conversation about pulling it behind the wall and going to the garage.the damage looks too extensive here i should

say on the front end of the race car, especiallyon the right side. team going to work but it is pretty severe. the window net alreadydown for ryan reed as he anticipates going to the garage.>> he is in the lane up there, man. at first we thought the 16 had come up. thenthat angle looking down the back stretch. it's the curved back stretch wall. hard toget a reference. 42, looks like it got tight, comes back, it looked a little loose and lookedlike it came down. we saw a couple cars coming down pit road, clint bowyer, justin allgaier,now the leaders have to decide what they want to do. are they going to continue to stayout and risk having to pit under the green or is now the time to make their second pitof the day.

>> i don't know what's up there. he ran intome off 4. tried to run into me off 2.>> so kyle is thinking that the 16 was coming into him when he was going through 1 and 2.>> you could see the 16 was on the bottom of the racetrack, kyle larson was there. kyleslowed down to make sure they didn't get together. and then they made contact off of turn 2.initially kyle looked to me he slowed down to try to prevent contact with reed comingup the racetrack. later off the corner we clearly saw the 42 get into the 16. i sawthe back of the car come around first, i don't think kyle larson turned left and intentionallyhooked him. the car came around, like you said started out tight and ended up gettingloose. nonlsz he got into the rear quarter

panel.>> just past the halfway point. 100 laps complete of the 200 schedules for this 300-mile race.kyle busch has been out in front for 85. kyle larson led nine. daniel suarez, five. so theycontinue to work on the clean up after once again the 16 was up into the wall. and thathas now opened pit road. and here comes kyle busch. elliot sadler, and the lead lap cars.cal kelly. >> you see the 1 car of elliot sadler. hehad been saving fuel. sounded like he was going to stay out. he is happy with the changesthey made last time on pit road. he has more rear grip. still a little bit snug on throttle,little bit snug in the center. >> they can make it on one more stop. danielsuarez as far back as 31st today. said the

car is a little bit free on entry, tight onexit. they are going to fix with it air pressure. they will get four good year tires, fuel.kyle busch, four tires and fuel as well. he will not be the first one off pit road.>> it's elliot sadler. two tire stop. ryan preece gained nine spots by not changing tires.i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept comingback on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece inmy asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is foradults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, likean inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace piece for you. see if you're eligible for12 months free at mybreo.com. the new ford

>> nascar is taking another look at the restart.it is under review. >> suarez was in the middle. suarez now tryingto battle with elliot sadler for position. erik jones is going to follow him.>> jeff, we were a little surprised to see awful these cars come to pit road. we thoughtthe 7, 88, cars that pitted ten laps going they were going to stay out. while they didn'tchange tires ten laps ago, they put fuel in, we thought that was going to be their strategy. >> logano did stick with that strategy andstayed out. all the other guys bailed out on the strategy and pitted with the leaders.>> 3 of ty dillon making the move around the 7 of justin allgaier. the lead heating upnow. here comes kyle busch looking to the

inside of joey logano. side by side at theline. and it's kyle busch now out front again. sixth or seventh on the racetrack. tryinga little bit of pit strategy, or not coming to pit road to get the lead, clean air. butnow he's dropped back to second and will havist hands full with the 19 of daniel suarez whois closed the gp. >> what a recovery by daniel suarez. had thataccident on pit road early in the race. had to pit a second time to repair the fenders.rallied back to battle the 22 for the second position.>> as that fight for second continues let's go into the garage and mike massaro.>> during our commercial break, ryan reed was able to look at the replay of what transpiredon the racetrack, when you saw the replay

what did you think?>> i thought it was really tight. it's hart to see. looked like he tagged me. it was tightracing. i should have lifted gotten out of there. he was on my door tight coming outof 2 there. you know, he probably should have gave me the spot. he was probably upset, hehad gone into the wall earlierer and was fighting back. he didn't want to give me the room.i understand his frustration. but it sucks we tore up the race car on lap 100. i feltlike -- we had the spotter, almost had him cleared there, and looked like he came offthe wall and tagged me, and he had enough. part of the deal. we'll move on to kentucky. we have got the chase to focus on. i'll watchthe rest of this race on my xfinity x-1 app

and see if there is not something i can learn.>> short day for ryan reed. he had been running inside the top 15. now in the garage.>> another caution. this time it's fluid in turn 2 that has brought the caution out. fieldwill stack back up again behind the toyota camry pace car. they will go two by two onceagain for the restart. that time, it was the 22 of joey logano who chose the outside lineand was able to make it work. but then the 18 of kyle busch, little bit stronger, freshertires, was able to get by. gun a, in the 62, will get the free pass. the last restart thatwas under review by nascar was deemed good. working on a little bit of fluid down in thelower groove in turns 1 and 2. as they clean that up, we'll take a quick break and be backfor the restart here at chicagoland..

series this year. it will be a good move forhim and rcr. more young talent at rcr, that's good.>> good for the series. and a prominent owner committed to the series. keep promoting youngtalent. dave, what's going on with the 39 team.>> he pitted here. and the crew chief who calls himself a consultant explained it thisway. >> the safe thing to do is get tires and fuel.otherwise we'll have about a 15 high pressure lap window of possibility where we would be15 laps having short pits. so i think it's safe to do it in this situation.>> have to pit one more time. kyle busch and joey logano making up one row.logano on the inside. green flag in the air.

the back of the 18, giving him a push. but19 pushing the 22. >> good run for the 3 of ty dillon. gainingtwo position, maybe three on this restart as he look to the inside of the 19. tryingto get by daniel suarez as well. fih ty dillon with a great restart.>> kyle larson trying to find a place where no one else is jumps up on the outside themake it three wide. >> momentum running for the 42 up high.>> kyle busch out front. erik jones. elliot sadler. joey logano, kyle larson the top five.>> you know the 42 has been gott good on the top on older tires. it's surprising he canmake the top lane work here on fresh tires on the restart.>> and he almost gets into the wall again

off turn 2.>> how about the 22 falling back, though, after starting on that front row, erik jonesand elliot sadler both able to get by now the 42 -- oh, again the wiggle there. 42 ofkyle larson was able to get by. daniel suarez. >> struggle with the pit strategy. the 22stayed out. he has older tires. that's going to hurt him.>> i'm sure he thought more people were going to stay out with him. he was the only onethat pitted early. and didn't stick with that strategy. that didn't create any separationbetween him and the guys that have the new tires.>> bowyer goes by in the 88. here comes justin allgaier in the 7. kyle larson, kyle busch,clint bowyer, joey logano, all in the top

ten. look. little rubbing there. >> that was close. the 22 was coming up theracetrack and joey logano and daniel suarez was there. at the may have contact. when youget book the back of somebody, the right rear quarter panel sometimes that cannot work outwell as we saw in the corner earlier. the two fine a way to work it out.>> outside. >> gap between kyle busch and erik jones,8/10 of a second for the lead. see again the 22 and the 19 pretty close to each other.>> joey assumed wars was going to be higher on the racetrack off turn 4. suarez was notusing all the racetrack and they got together. >> laps continuing to wind down for this 300miler, 200 laps from chicagoland. the last

race of the regular season for the xfinityseries. after this one, it will be 12 drivers that will be able to fight for the championship.we ride along with joey logano. the eyes looking, with up in the mirror as he has the 7 of justinallgaier all over the back of him you can see the ump abouts. helmet moving around.how rough this track is. >> joey logano lost the bottom of the racetrack.he drove in there and he tried to carry speed to the middle of the corner. his car justwill not stay where it needs to. doesn't have the handling like they need it on the 22.>> kyle larson moved up to fourth, marty. >> and rick, here comes that 42 once againfor kyle larson. and they did check that damage from earlier, the right rear quarter panelis fine. they knocked it out a little bit.

the left rear is fine as well. he said i don'tknow what happened, but the call is all of a sudden very tight. remember he has beenloose much of this race. one thing for sure, the 42 the kyle larson, he has been very aggressivethis afternoon. >> he has been exceptionally aggressive. thisis what we talked about with kyle larson. to be in the side of other cars. today hehas nothing to lose lks but going into tomorrow he has to think about that. points matter.you can't afford bad races. sprint cup series is restarts. he had thisto say about restarts in the xfinity series. >> not good on restarts.>> 10-4, we'll relay the message. >> so kyle larson running fourth. made thecomment about the engine is not very good,

not pulling very well on the restart.>> that's -- you know, that's some of the tricks to restarting, especially in the xfinityseries. these cars are restricted down a little bit on horse power. and it's really hard toget them rolling. it's very important them to accelerate. sounds like kyle larson doesn'tfeel like his is accelerating as quick as it should.>> larson continuing to run right up against the wall. daniel suarez closing the gap nowas he has caught up to the 42. suarez, pretty good rebound after the issue getting off ofpit road, the damage that was done to both sides of that number 19. made his way backup into the top five. >> difficult if you are suarez running behindlarson. he is running in the top over in 1

and 2, all the way against the wall. suarezon the bottom of the racetrack. now he has no arrow disadvantage because nobody is infront of him in the middle of 1 and 2. he makes up the grounds on 1 and 2. then as theygo to 3 and 4, they both go to the bottom. so that really hurts suarez in 3 and 4. nowhe has that car in front of him, loses down force, the car doesn't make the grip he wantsit to make. that clean air.>> we'll see what strategy suarez uses as kyle busch continues to lead. you will seeit all as we go nascar non-stop. â™ªâ™ª kyle busch, the 2015 champion! â™ªâ™ª toyota. let'sgo places. upgrade season's here. i got my new iphone 7 from sprint. zero dollars. sprint?i'm hearing good things about the network.

all the networks are great now. we're talkingwithin a 1% difference in reliability of each loss, visit sprintrelay.com. >>> welcome back to chicago, illinois. tomorrowon nbcsn, the first race of the chase. the sprint cup series racing from chicagoland.that telecast presented by toyota. coverage begins at 2:00 p.m. eastern.>> it is going to be great. can't predict the chaos the playoffs bring. the pressuremounting. race one, 16 drivers trying to work to advance out of the round of 16. tryingto give them a guaranteed spot in the round of 12.>> welcome back to the nascar xfinity series racing from chicagoland, drive for safety300. the pole for tomorrow's race will go

to kyle busch, who is leading this xfinityrace. and won the camping world truck series race last night. he has swept the truck andxfinity series races in the same weekend 12 times before.>> not just before, rick. but with qualifying canceled due to weather, all 16 chase driverswill take the front eight rows. it couldn't be any better for the drop of the green flag.>> it will definitely be exciting from the drop of the green flag all the way until thecheckers. as that will be the first opportunity for chase drivers to get a win and securetheir position in the round of 12. erik jones still able to stay out in front of the 42.>> not going to be long, though. that 42 is coming quickly. he has been about .3 of alap quicker than erik jones. caught him quickly.

we've seep this consistently with kyle larson.he is better on long runs in the cup races and the xfinity races, especially on the topgroove races, he gets the top line moving. makes a bold move to the bottom. he gets thetop line working and it is amazing how fast he can go on long runs.>> he says the car is worse this run. it's more sluggish -- his word, sluggish, but tight.tighter conditions for that 42 car. yet he is still finding time and making speed. >> what i like is he is not committed to thetop on both ends of the racetrack. that last time he ran at the bottom o and 4. goes downto the white line. the goal is to use the momentum to get to the outside of the 20.i think if he could get to the outside, he

would easily clear.>> they will all get one more shot at making adjustments to the cars as they have to pitat least one more time for fuel before the end of this race.>> drivers talking about clean air and the importance of clean air. this is it righthere. kyle larson ran him down. and he got to this this distant and tauld stalled out.he hasn't been able to make more ground up. it's hard when your car makes list grip. andthat's why you want to be where kyle busch is. obviously everybody wants to be leadingthe race, but it's such an advantage to be ahead of the pack.>> erik just put his hand up on the wheel, where are you lapped cars going? i need thatline, need to be in that position getting

into turn 1. for erik jones, this is his onlyshot. moving up to sprint cup next year with furniture row. announced earlier they aregoing to add a second time. won and done in the truck series. now he has a same chancein the xfinity series. >> how about that, a metric rise for the 20and erik jones. winning a championship in the truck series, the very next year, potentiallywinning a championship in the xfinity series, and moving onto the cup series.>> lot of young drivers in the country look up to erik jones as an example of how if youwin races on local level, if you do it the right way you will get that shot. it's hardfor young drivers but they look at him and say he won his way to the front. it wasn'tbecause he had sponsors, because of any of

that. he had talent. it's how he has done it. hewon championships, won races. he is the example they all look up to.>> rick, that xfinity series chase starts next week. five of the seven tracks in itare close to the same shape and size as the chicagoland speedway. erik jones says i personallylike mile and a half tracks and my team does very good at them. he to could get that secondchampionship in a row. >> elliot sadler, since taking two tires hecalls his car a ten out of ten. things looking up for the 1 car.>> how about daniel suarez. contacted on pit road at the beginning of the day. goes backto 35. the car much better. as it stands right

now, they will go into the chase as the numberthree seed. the crew chief talked about bringing his best cars to the chase. he said next weekat ken condition they are taking the michigan winning car, the best car in the fleet.>> justin allgaier would love to pick up his second win on his home track here at chicagoland.he started out so strong, which is unusual for a new team. he says not that they havebecome come placent, but the last couple of races has been about making changes to seewhat they can do to get better heading into chase. right now allgaier saying he is tighteron this run on these tires than he was the last time out. behind him, we will he seethe 3 of ty dillon. they came to chicago with a completely different package than they haveever run before. they found some speed in

the simulator and were excited to see howit would play out here. ty wanted some changes. it's getting tight. and crew chief is tellinghim to get ready. we go nascar non-stop. and you won't haveto guess when we'll turn up. because after all we should fit into your life. not theother way around. >>> welcome back. you have seen kyle buschout front. has about a .of a second lead as we look at the toyota driver update. first,second, and fifth for kyle busch, erik jones, and daniel suarez, all out of joe gibbs racing.kyle busch has been dominant. 124 laps led of the 147. there will be green flag pit stopscoming up. they will be coming up fairly soon. we heard the strategy potentially for the3 car of ty dillon. maybe short pitting, coming

a little bit earlier and trying to take advantageof the fresher tires. we were listening in to elliot sadler moments ago as far as strategyon the track. >> trying to run the top. what do you think,is that better or worse? is this you were slower up there. that's where the 20 is running.18 is running top. 42 top. we can learn from it.>> spot her saying top, top. what that means is they are running the top in turns 1 and2 and the top in turns 3 and 4. elliot sadler knows they are running that in both ends ofthe racetrack. you heard elliot sadler say it was faster on the bottom but these guysare quicker. even though he is slower, he is saying run the top, learn what your carcan do up there ultimately that's where we

need to be to twin race.>> green flag pit stops getting underway. clint bowyer in the 88. erik jones has closedthe gap to 4/10 of a second between kyle busch and erik jones.>> rick, he gave up seventh place to come into pit road. he said i'm in a box. it'sloose here but hasn't turned the way i need it to. a chassis adjustment, track bar adjustment,four fresh tifrs, last fill of snowo fuel road first. if he can beat the other car byone lap he will be the leader. >> ty dillon said his car was bottoming outharder and getting freer. the crew has given hip four fresh tires.>> air pressure, four tires, and fuel. >> the 1 of elliot sadler started a ten outof ten tight but got better. he says it's

tight through the nilg and off. the team promisingto make it better. you see a chassis adjustment and hoping that four tires instead of twowill help him. made his way inside the top 15. air pressureadjustment, four tires and fuel. >> the fastest car the last ten laps or so.he says the car was too tight. they are going to make an air pressure adjustment tryingto free it up like it was earlier in the race. >> justin allgaier said he was tight on thisrun as well. they made a slight chassis ajusticement and they will give him four good year tires,snow fuel. he said they went too far on the last adjustment.>> erik joneso has the cub crew of denny hamlin. they will try to beat the cub kree of kylebusch. time is 11 seconds for a four tire

stop. boy, they exit just the way they camein. >> daniel suarez with the cup crew of carledwards. loose entry, tight in the center, loose on exit. they made an adjustment tryingto change the settings going into the corner and off of the corner.>> kyle larson being told he has to serve the a penalty for speeding on pit road.>> 42 came to pit road a lap before the 18 of kyle busch. kyle busch was more efficienton and off pit road. actually kept the lead. >> brennan gun a on pit road. he says he needsthe car to cut a little bit better. they are informing to make an air pressure you a justmen. four fires and fuel as well. last time on pit road he had a penalty. he has overcomeit and runs up inside the top 15.

>> behind that, 42 of kyle larson servingthe pit road penalty. only 44 to go. >> currently 16 on the lead lap. jeremy clementsrunning 16th. more than likely will lose that position as ryan preece out front. once hepits kyle busch will be the race leader once again. and there ryan preece now losing thelead to kyle busch. kyle busch by the 51 of jeremy clements.>> kyle busch has had really good takeoff speed. he has been faster when they firsttake off than erik jones has been. enables kyle busch to take it a lib easier.he doesn't have to take full advantage of that speed, save a little bit of tire. because,remember, at the end of that run, we saw erik jones running him down. kyle busch has gotto have in the back of his head that erik

jones is a little better at the end of therun. maybe save little tire here at the start of the run to be better at the end.>> it could be ironic in the situation of erik jones chasing down the 18 of kyle busch.because the reason that eric jones is even in a race car in the upper tier of nascaris because of kyle busch. kyle busch was racing against erik jones. jeff, you had mentionedat a local short track in the snowball derby. a very big race for late models. and kylebusch actually got beat by erik jones in the late model car. and kyle went to joe gibbsand said, this kid's legit. he's good. as the caution comes out. kyle said, you haveto hire this kid. we've got to get this kid in a truck or a car at the highest level becausehe's got that talent. so kyle busch actually

hired him and put him into a truck.>> erik jones goes on, wins the truck series championship. now in the xfinity series. potentiallycould win the championship in the xfinity series. and then will be moving to the cupseries next season. >> this caution will help kyle larson. hewas able to stay on the lead lap, currently in the 14th position. looks like one or twocars that need to go to pit road. he should line up 11th or 12th on the restart. with40 to go, i am not sure he will recover but at least he has closed back up to the leaders.>> 42 has dug himself into a hole. fast race car. he tried to get by suarez and carriedso much speed, he couldn't hold it. gets into the wall, damages the right rear quarter panel.

and then put him in this position. he wasracing with ryan reed. turn 2, right quarter panel of ryan reed. more damage to his car.and after running the leaders down, come down pit road under green, caught speeding. threemiss taiks today for kyle larson. those are mistakes he cannot afford in tomorrow's race.the quality of competition here today is tough. but not arizona tomorrow. it's harder to overcomethese problems in the sprint cup race. >> barely flashed to red. now that the loopsare shorter now harder to get away with it. >> good point.>> it has affected a lot of people. we have seen a fike in pit road penalties. it's difficult.we talk about it every race, how fun he is to watch. how fast he is. all these kindsof thing. he has to find way to bring it down

just a little bit. still keep that speed butbring it down. young race carr -- he is a young race car driver learning how to managelong races. it is not easy. >> nine speeding penalties already today.the average at this racetrack, 3.7. again, the addition of the speeding lines or speedingzones on pit road definitely has increased the penalties. but that has been at virtuallyevery track. those speed zones have been added. drivers using what they had done previously,it's not working. that's something we are going to continue to talk about as we seethe 1 of elliot sadler peel off from the fourth position to come down pith pit road. kelly.>> there was a debate whether or not they should come to pit road. elliot saying whateveryou think gives us the best chance to win

this race. forget about points. they want another race headed into the chase.they are changing the tires now. looks like it will be a four-tire change for the 1. meanwhile,blake cook is trying to point his way into the chase. he stretched it out all the wayto the end of his fuel run. no adjustments for the 11. just four tires and sunoco fuel.>> the 39 of ryan seeing gives up 1 positions. he got back on the lead lap from that run.he was off strategy from earlier. he has a lot of adjustments.>> the debate for a lot of these teams was this would have been their last set of tires.not the case for the 22 team. remember they stayed out earlier. they still have anotherset of tires and have four fresh good years

on the 22. we'll see if he can make progresson this run. >> see if joey logano can utilize the freshgood year tires. kyle busch out front. we go nascar non-stop. forged in the fires ofracing. (engine revving) i've been challenged, testedand proven. whether it's on that track or off, the truth is- what you're made of...is what you're made to do. today we're gonna be comparing the roll formed steel bed ofthe chevy silverado to the aluminum bed of this competitor's truck. awesome. yeah! first,let's check out the aluminum bed of this truck. wooooow!! holy moly. full on crack here. nowlet's check out the steel bed of the silverado. i'd expect more dents. no holes. find yourtag and get 16% of msrp cash back on select

>> looking to go three wide here. ty dillonin the 3. down at the bottom, elliot sadler in the 1 was looking to go in the middle,and 42 of kyle larson up top. take a look at this. dillon trying to side draft the 42to slow his momentum down. if you can get the right front phenomenoner on the car nextto you's left rear quarter panel it stacks all the air on the spoiler and puts drag onthat car and slows it down for the straightaway. >> big run for the 42. coming up behind the22 of logano. logano goes down low. the 42 goes by on the outside.>> about the same point of the run that we saw last time where kyle larson's car wasnot great on new tires. it takes time. doesn't fire off as quick as the other cars. onceit gets running, he gets rhythm up top and

>> ty tried to block him. kyle got there soquickly. when he got to the corner he wasn't able to get to the bottom, the 3 car wasn't.with these cars with less horse power momentum is so important. if you have to breathe outof the throttle or not go back to the throttle as kickly as you want to it kills your speed.>> you go up to the battle for the lead, the 7 of justin allgaier on the wall. and did20 of erik jones. they have moved up. the leader kyle busch. in the last laps they haveclosed the lead. all cars within a second. >> brendan gaughan lost a spot to larson inthe 42. larson continuing to move toward the front. the laps winding down. just 26 to go.not enough time for larson to be able to get up there, reel in the 18 of kyle busch. butkyle busch has his hands full already with

>> the second and third place guys startedto run him down. i wonder if he had a tire going down.>> he tapped the wall ten or 15 laps ago. and it underdo did some of the metal workunderneath the fender. but there was a gap there. and that wasn't normal.>> get another look. you see the right rear tire as well.>> entering turn 1, you can see he is off the pace there. the car is moving oorn. yousee how quickly the 7 pinches in. does a great job of missing the 18. so does the 20 of erikjones. he definitely had a tire issue there on corner entry. and you can't control iton corner exit. >> those two guys behind him. you don't expectthe leader to slow down like that. they did

a nice job to avoid him.>> allgaier ducking to the left. watch this.>> erik jones, how close that is. >> erik jones is looking at the 7. he is morefocused on the 7. and all of a sudden the 7 starts to move down and twlz the 18 in frontof arng jones. a good move to miss him. now we see the 7 and 20 making their way on thepit road. mike? if they come down pit road, follow them. that'schaktly what happened. the call for menard is a two tire change. they will work on theright side. and taking on sunoco race fuel. exit. otherwise good. four fires.>> longer here on the left side, dave. >> erik jones liked his car. he will get fourfresh tires and fuel and head off pit road.

[ light laughter ] laugh bigger. [ laughter] >>> while we are under the eighth cautionhere in chicagoland take a look at what is happening tomorrow. nascar america at 1:30.countdown to green at 2:00. first race for the chase in the sprint cup series, chicagolandat 2:30. nascar america post race at 6:00. and the last race of the season for the inycar sear. that at sonoma. that begins at 6:30. what a battle they have building between thetwo penske drivers. simon p arc gino and willpower. willpower actually missed the first race ofthe season at st. pete. simon pagino, four wins as well as willpower, on the season.and right now they enter that final race a 4 #-point deficit for willpower. both driversdrive for team penske. so it is a guarantee

that penske will win the championship. it'sjust a question of which driver. >> pagino has had a great year. a breakoutseason. didn't have the best first i don't remember at penske. here in year two seemedto put it together. a whole season-long run.>> pit crew for the 18 came over the wall too soon. 18 has to start at the back of thefield. >> elliot sadler and clint bowyer decidedto stay on the racetrack. they didn't come to pit road. they have older tires. and thenyou look at two of menard's. the 7 of allgaier. they have fresher tires.>> menard took two tires. justin allgaier, he did four. so i like the position allgaieris in. in the outside lane. two guys have

older tires. what's important is who can getaccelerating with the old tires, who can get accelerating in the restart zone on this frontrow? who can lead this race into turn 1? because you are going to have to get away from -- lookat the 42 on the outside line. you know he is going high and he is going to try to getto the front. you have got to build momentum and get it moving.>> outside of row 1, clint bowyer in the 88 trying to make something happen. elliot sadleron the inside of row 1 as they come into the restart zone. fanning out behind that frontrow, three wide as they go into turn 1. >> 7 needed to climb the hill and try to blockthe outside from kyle larson. here comes the 42. three wide up top.>> that is four wide, and one into the wall.

it was the # 3 of brandon jones. he got intothe wall. he is still going. -- 33 of brandon jones. the battle for thelead. lgs out front. >> able to drive deep into turn 3. clear ofclint bowyer. erik jones. 1. getting by the 88 of clint bowyer. again, the older tires on the 88. he drivesthrough turn 2 and onto the back stretch. >> that will make it easy for kyle larsonin the 42 to clear the 88. still 13 laps to go. a long time for these cars.>> joey logano in the 22. right along the white line.>> we haven't seen our last caution, i would say. a lot of aggressive racing. now thaterik jones crossed the 1 of elliot sadler.

he has to get by him quickly. if he can't,kyle larson is going to be coming at a high rate of speed. got to try to find a way aroundnow. >> elliot sadler trying to make that number1 as wide as he possibly can. choose the right line. he is going down low in front of erikjones. and after all this time we have two xfinity regulars at the front of this field.so much talk about larson, busch, logano, but these two i believe are who we are goingto see battle all the way to miami. these are the two championship favorites.>> elliot sadler in a late race battle made a mistake and was able to withstand the battleor the charge coming from denny hamlin. he is used to being in this situation.>> he has to focus out the windshield. the

20, i believe as he gets later in this runthe top will come in, a couple more laps and that will open up options and it will be hardfor elliot sadler to hold him behind him. >> there he goes. first move into the middleof the racetrack trying to get the outside to work. let's see if he gains down the backstraightaway. >> less than ten laps to go. race for thelead continues. elliot sadler. erik jones. jones is going to run a higher line. sadlerducks down to the bottom of the racetrack. >> elliot has a decision to make right now.does he go to the top and try to block the momentum or go to the bottom. >> he goes to the bottom. erik jones staysup high. they get bonus points.

>> big stake coming. big run. lot of momentum.look to the inside. erik jones goes by as they go into turn 3.>> it's not done yet. >> up the racetrack he goes. he completesthe pass. >> he is on fresh tires. he got a huge leadon third. the spoiler. wasn't enough.>> just eight laps to go. erik jones, 20-year-old out of michigan out in front. elliot sadler.>> i'm impressed. i thought 1 would lose more time than he did. we'll see if we can findspeed to stay in touch with the 20. but he went to the bottom of the racetracka. wrong guess by elliot. that's all you can do is try to guess which direction he is tryingto go in and you you do the opposite.

>> kyle larson has run the fastest latch anyonein the field. back in third. >> is there enough time for kyle larson though?he is one second back. the laps continue to wind down. under seven to go.>> the thing about kyle larson is we have seen like a light switch. so many times -- notjust today, but a lot of times when the top lane gets going it's like a light switch andhe takes off. he will be 3, 4, 5/10 of a second quicker. he is going to need that switch rightnow with only six to go. >> seeing the gap close. this is going tohelp w. the 1 of elliot sadler running the bottom allows clean air up top.>> trying to take away the high lane, but the 42 easily by the 1 of elliot sadler now.kyle larson into second. less than six to

go.>> remember, early in the race we heard the spotter telling elliot sadler other peoplewere running it but elliot was slower on the top of the racetrack. he has to stay on the bottom. his car isn'tas fast at the top. >> kyle larson is very good on the longerruns. does he have enough time? the team asked him is the car better on this short run? hesaid one word. better. he is trying to catch him. it is going to be an interesting lastfive laps. >> five laps -- now four to go. four lapsremaining from chicagoland. >> 2/10 quicker that lap. 2/10 of a sechlkdhe is definitely faster.

>> if you are erik jones you have the samedecision to make as elliot sadler. he thinks his car is better down bottom. but 42 he knowsis better up top. when does he move to the top to try to protect.>> the gap was 200 feet. now it's down to 130.>> three laps to go. the gap less than half a second.>> erik jones has moved to the top. switched to the defensive mode. take away the lineof the 42. right now erik jones fighting for three bonus points, for the win. he will getthree more bonus points to start the chase. to the bottom of the track goes kyle larson.>> we saw a little while ago kyle larson trying to slide drive into 1 very, very deep andtrying to get in front of the car in front

of him. that's going to have to be his moveas erik jones takes the top of the racetrack. >> erik jones stays in front of the 42 asthey go through 1 and 2. down the back stretch. what's the strategy now? does he try to takeaway that line? here goes the 42 to the bottom. erik jones hangs on. he needs to do it onemore time. one lap to go. sponsored by credit one bank.three bonus points on the line if erik jones can stay out front, win his fourth race ofthe season. up against the wall goes the 42 of kyle larson.>> rubbed the wall. cruise down here. >> through 3 and 4. for the last time. erikjones stays up high. erik jones comes to the finish line. he'll see the checkers in chicagoland.>> how about that on a hot slick chicago scene?
