While the No. 00 NASCAR Ford Mustang of Cole Custer won last year’s first-ever Xfinity Series race on the Chicago Streets, The Blue Oval just didn’t have the speed (or luck) to repeat the feat on July 6th, 2024. In fact, only one Mustang Dark Horse racer pulled off a top 10 finish on Saturday.
Joey Logano – who replaced Hailie Deegan in the No. 15 Mustang – wheeled his race car to an eighth-place result, his first stint in an Xfinity Series car since 2019. At this point, it seems like Deegan is out at AM Racing, the team that fields the No. 15 Mustang, and it’s not clear who will drive the car moving forward.
The next-best NASCAR Ford was the No. 39 Mustang of Ryan Sieg, who finished 16th. Last year’s winner, Custer, struggled with myriad issues in the No. 00 Mustang, including a speeding penalty. He finished 18th but maintains the points lead over Justin Allgaier, driver of the No. 7 Chevy Camaro SS.
Shane van Gisbergen, who won last year’s Cup Series race at Chicago in his first-ever NASCAR start, claimed victory in the No. 97 Camaro over Ty Gibbs’ No. 19 Toyota TRD Supra and Kyle Larson’s No. 17 Camaro.
