The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Chicagoland Speedway is a NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series stock car race held annually at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois.
History
In 2008 the race has been held at night under Chicagoland's lighting system, after being held as a day race for the previous 7 years. However, in 2011, the race returned to daytime. From 2016 to 2017, it served as the final race of NASCAR's "regular season" for the Xfinity Series, Following the race, the top 12 drivers in points standings advance to the seven-race NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs.
In 2017, the race was known as TheHouse.com 300.[1] Starting in 2018, the race moved to June, the weekend before 4th of July. The new race that Las Vegas Motor Speedway acquired from Kentucky Speedway took Chicagoland's former spot and was renamed the Overton's 300.[2]
In 2026, the race would return to the schedule.
