Frontstretch in the Fast Lane: All Things Chicagoland Speedway

Frontstretch’s Tanner Marlar joined The Fast Lane with Ed Lane on Thursday, July 2 to discuss:

  • Is the NASCAR field catching up to Shane van Gisbergen, or are the Trackhouse Racing Team cars inferior to the Toyotas?
  • When can we close the debate on SVG being the greatest road course racer of all time?
  • What are the odds SVG can continue improving on non-road races & sneak into the Chase?
  • Has the In-Season Challenge started losing luster?
  • Who are some drivers who can make some noise in NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge?
  • What are your expectations for NASCAR’s return to Chicagoland Speedway?
  • Do you expect Chicagoland to be a long-term play on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, or is this a holdover until the street course returns?
  • What are your expectations for Alex Bowman in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet?
  • Who has your attention around the Chase cutline?
  • Who do you expect to emerge in the Denny Hamlin vs. Tyler Reddick battle for the NASCAR Regular Season champion?
  • Is Ryan Blaney lurking in the NASCAR Cup standings?
  • What’s your assessment of Chevrolet and the new Camaro body?
  • Which Chevrolet has turned in the most concerning performance this season?
  • If you have to bet on one driver to win at Chicagoland, who’s your pick?
