Can Team Chevy match Toyota's success?

Friday night was a great night for Toyota drivers, who took first through fourth place in the Dollar General 300 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race.

In tonight's Sprint Cup series race, the LifeLock.com 400, Chevrolet drivers could be almost as dominant, if past performance is any indication.

Chevrolet drivers have won six of the eight Cup series points races at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, and five of the top 12 drivers, including the top three in the points standings, are with Team Chevy. Tony Stewar is the points leader, and Jeff Gordon the second-place driver both drive the Chevy Impala SS. So does three-time defending Cup series champion Jimmie Johnson, who's third in the driver points this season.
