Sacks to make Cup return in Chicago.
1985 Pepsi Firecracker 400 winner Greg Sacks will attempt to make his first NASCAR Cup Series start in more than six years this weekend at the Chicagoland Speedway in a new team owned by James Wilsburg.
One of NASCAR's most celebrated journeyman throughout the mid to late 1980's and 1990's, Sacks has been behind several comeback rides that non-started in recent years, most notably the #05 Franchi$it sponsored team that was set to debut last year. However when he turned up for the recent Busch Series race at Dover, he indicated that a new ride was forthcoming.

Sacks' new mount will be the #13 ARC Dehooker/Vita Coco Dodge owned by Wilsburg. While the number of events the pairing are due to take in this year remains unclear, if Sacks can use his experience to gain a decent base set-up there are almost half a dozen starting slots effectively 'up for grabs' between the independent teams each week. As the #98 Mach 1 Motorsport Lucas Oil team has shown, simply by qualifying for races and running the full-distance, progress can be made.
