NASCAR starts the chase for the Sprint Cup at Chicagoland Speedway. The good news, the action will be on the track not coming from the sky like it did last weekend at Richmond International Raceway.

Weather forecast for both today and Sunday are near perfect. Lots of sunshine and very comfortable temperatures. Highs will be in the mid 70s this afternoon and upper 70s to near 80 on Sunday.
