What can you take away from this weekend's NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Chicagoland Speedway that you can use later in the year?
I love Chicago. It's one of the coolest tracks we go to because of how many grooves there are. You can run all over that track and gain speed. I'm excited to get there. I've had a lot of fun driving the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet this year in the XFINITY Series, hopefully we can grab another win. - Austin Dillon
