It looks like three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen could have some stiff competition as he attempts a repeat of his Chicago Street Course win of a year ago.
Kyle Larson beat van Gisbergen in Saturday’s practice session on the 2.2-mile, 12-turn course through the Grant Park area of downtown Chicago. Larson had the top overall average lap speed at 89.549 mph while van Gisbergen was close behind at 89.434 mph. Both drivers ran in the first 20-minute session of the day. Earlier in the day, van Gisbergen edged Larson for the pole in Saturday’s Xfinity Series race.
