The NASCAR Cup Series makes just its second trip to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway on the outskirts of St. Louis this weekend for the Enjoy Illinois 300. The asymmetrical 1 ¼-mile speedway with low banking presents a unique challenge for both teams setting up cars and drivers traversing it, resulting in eight crash-related yellow-flags in 2022.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Enjoy Illinois 300:

Chase Elliott suspended for Gateway

NASCAR’s most popular driver will not be at Gateway this weekend while he serves a one-race suspension. Elliott was suspended for a retaliatory on-track move against Denny Hamlin last week at Charlotte. Midway through the Coca-Cola 600, Hamlin squeezed Elliott coming off Turn 4, and Elliott turned into Hamlin’s right-rear quarter panel, taking both out of the race.

Corey Lajoie will drive Elliott’s No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet this weekend. Elliott missed six races previously in the season due to injuries suffered in a snowboarding accident.

Enjoy Illinois 300 details

Track: World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway (1 ¼-mile asymmetrical oval) in Madison, Illinois
Length: 240 laps for 300 miles
Banking: 11 degrees in Turns 1-2, nine degrees in Turns 3-4.
Last year’s winner: Joey Logano, Team Penske Ford

Top drivers and best bets for the Enjoy Illinois 300

For the second straight weekend, Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson and William Byron enter the weekend as the top two favorites, according to BetMGM, as the HMS stable has been absolutely dominant on non-superspeedways.

Best odds to win
• Kyle Larson +500
• William Byron +700
• Ryan Blaney +1000
• Kyle Busch +1000
• Denny Hamlin +1000

Byron has won three of the six races on intermediate tracks (between 1 and 1 ½ miles) this season and has combined with Larson to lead 1,270 of the 3,943 total laps run this season. Blaney and Busch both finished in the top 5 in this race last year in the first Cup Series race there, while Hamlin won at Kansas earlier this year, which has a similar profile to Gateway.

We wrote earlier in the week on some other bets worth consideration this weekend: you can find good mid-tier value in Ty Gibbs (+3000) and Brad Keselowski (+3500) who both have wins in feeder series races at Gateway.

Weather forecast for the Enjoy Illinois 300

Summer is officially still a few weeks away, but in metropolitan St. Louis, it’s already in full swing. It is forecast to be hot and dry with temperatures in the low 90s. That should lead to rapid tire wear and multiple crew chief and race strategist headaches.
