The NASCAR Cup Series is back at Gateway for Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300 race at World Wide Technology Raceway.

Last week's Charlotte race weekend was eventful. The Cup and Xfinity races were run on Monday. The Coca-Cola 600 was won by Ryan Blaney, who won for the first time since 2021 in an excellent run that will keep him among the title contenders later this year.

Chase Elliott's incident with Denny Hamlin was deemed intentional and triggered a one-race suspension for this week's race. Corey Lajoie will be in the No. 9 Chevrolet, while Carson Hocevar will make his first career Cup Series start in Lajoie's usual ride, the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet.

Here's what you need to know about Sunday's race:
