Chatting with Cody Coughlin:

“It’s always nice to be familiar with a race track. I’m sure some things have changed since I last raced at Chicagoland Speedway – the track is probably a bit more worn out. First practice will probably be a bit of a ‘feeling-out’ period, but I know the line heading in. I’ve run well there before, and the team has had good speed on the intermediate tracks, so I have a good feeling for Friday night.
