The 2026 NASCAR In-Season Challenge continues at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, and there are some very exciting matchups to look forward to.
After 16 drivers were eliminated at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, just 16 stars now remain in the hunt to win the $1 million prize, which will be awarded after the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26.
This weekend, there are two intra-team battles of note, with Hendrick Motorsports duo Kyle Larson and William Byron set to go head-to-head as they look to advance to round three.
The same can be said for Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Chase Briscoe and Ty Gibbs, who are also set to battle it out in what looks like another mouth-watering matchup.
Elsewhere, Denny Hamlin, the highest remaining seed in the challenge, takes on Erik Jones, while third seed Ryan Blaney goes head-to-head with Shane van Gisbergen.
