NASCAR Grand Park 165 Predictions

Shane van Gisbergen shocked the NASCAR world last year by winning the inaugural Chicago Street Race in his Cup Series debut. The three-time Australian Supercars champion navigated challenging conditions with skill and precision, but repeating that feat against a field of experienced NASCAR regulars won’t be easy.

Christopher Bell, listed at +650, is our pick to claim the checkered flag at Grant Park. Bell was in a league of his own for most of last year’s rain-shortened race, dominating the first two stages before Mother Nature intervened.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been on a tear recently, notching two wins in the last six weeks and leading the most laps at Nashville before a late spin dashed his hopes. Bell’s road course knowledge and current momentum make him the best NASCAR bet on Sunday.

For a top-5 finish, Chase Elliott at +850 is worth a look. The Hendrick Motorsports star has seven career wins on road courses and finished 3rd in Chicago last year. Elliott’s consistency, with five consecutive top-10 finishes entering this race, further bolsters his case as a driver likely to be in the mix at the end.

Grant Park 165 Picks:

• Winner: Christopher Bell (+650)
• Top-5 Finish: Chase Elliott (+850)

NASCAR Grand Park Longshots

Don’t overlook Justin Haley at +7500. He was the underdog last year when he fought his way from 37th to a second-place finish at the Grant Park 165, leading 23 laps along the way. He’s proven he can come out of nowhere to challenge the leaders at this unpredictable track.

Ross Chastain, priced at +3000, is another longshot to watch. Despite a disappointing 22nd-place finish last year, Chastain has been diligently studying the Chicago Street Course with the help of his Trackhouse Racing teammate and defending race winner van Gisbergen.

Chastain’s aggressive driving style seems tailored for the tight confines of this circuit, and he’s already notched two top-5 finishes on road courses in 2024. Don’t sleep on the No. 1 car.

Finally, 2022 Daytona 500 champion Austin Cindric at +4500 is a dark horse contender. Cindric cut his teeth on road courses in the Xfinity Series and quietly logged a 6th-place finish in Chicago last season after starting way back in 31st.

While 2024 hasn’t gone according to plan so far for the Team Penske driver, the Grant Park 165 could be the perfect stage for Cindric to turn his fortunes around.

Grant Park 165 Longshot Predictions:

• Justin Haley (+7500)
• Ross Chastain (+3000)
• Austin Cindric (+4500)
