The 2019 Camping World 400, is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race that was held on June 30, 2019 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois. Contested over 267 laps on the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) intermediate speedway, it was the 17th race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. Alex Bowman won the race, recording his first career Cup Series victory, while Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 5.

This was the last NASCAR race at Chicagoland, as the track lost all three of its 2020 race dates due to scheduling conflicts because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
