Thought by many to be the toughest division in the NFL, the AFC South has fielded only two teams that have suffered a losing record the last three years.

Preview: Chicagoland is a relative newcomer to the Cup circuit compared to venerable venues like Martinsville and Richmond. NASCAR has visited this track just once a year since 2001, but it gives the sport an annual presence in a major TV market.
The list of drivers who’ve won here can almost be counted on one hand: Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, and Kyle Busch.

1. Tony Stewart (+600): Stewart is the current series points leader, has won two of the past five Cup races, and is coming off a dominating performance at Daytona.
He won in Chicago two years ago, finished fifth here last year, and has accumulated the most driver points at this track over the course of the last five races.
2. Kyle Busch (+700): Busch won this race last year in impressive fashion, starting on the pole and leading 165 of 267 laps.
In just four Chicagoland starts, he’s climbed to fifth on the list of overall lap leaders and is second in the average finish category.
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (+3000): Junior had a little pep in his step Thursday after running sixth in practice and qualifying 13th.
He won this race in 2005 and has two top 5s in his last four Chicagoland starts.
Summary: Weather will be a factor the next two days and, although it may clear out by race time, it will leave a green racetrack behind.
Drivers will also be adjusting to a race that begins an hour before sunset and transitions into nighttime.
