The return of Chicagoland saw multiple leaders – but Toyota still won out in the end. We discuss whether the move back to an intermediate track worked, the kinda-sorta rivalry with SVG and Austin Hill, the latest NASCAR News – and our Picks for Atlanta.

– SVG – Austin Hill – why do the bad drivers keep beefing with the road course experts?
– NASCAR Standings – the battle for the final playoff spots remains intense

– NASCAR News:
– Steve O’Donnell says everyone wants to broadcast more races. If only more people wanted to watch them 
– The ESPYs are still apparently a thing
– NASCAR holding public memorial for Kyle Busch in October with some interesting details. Let’s hope they do it right.
– Sponsor News
