The closest finish was 0.0024 of a second, which also took place at Chicagoland Speedway in 2002. The track is also home to the closest 1-2-3 finish in IndyCar Series history (0.0100 on September 7, ,2003), as well as the closest Firestone Indy Lights finish that has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the closest margin of victory in a car race. The 67-lap, 100-mile race, which took place on September 9, 2007, was decided by 0.0005 of a second. Logan Gomez edged Sam Schmidt Motorsports teammate Alex Lloyd by 1.65 inches as they crossed the finish line at 190 mph. | | Jake's Question for Track President Matthew Alexander:
