Weather and cautions posed the biggest threat to Van Gisbergen, including a Lap 74 crash from Cody Ware, which took NASCAR more than 30 seconds to bring out the caution flag officially. "The strategy was a bit all over the place, as we knew it would be today, racing the weather, racing cars and different (pit) stops," Van Gisbergen added.

A very strange caution in the NASCAR Chicago Street Race just as Shane van Gisbergen passed Chase Briscoe for the lead. Due to an ambulance needing to cross the track, officials had to get the caution out and slow down the race.

The NASCAR Cup Series hits Chicago for a street-course race through the city, which will also serve as the second round of the In-Season Challenge.
