It’s time for another road race — the NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Watkins Glen International this weekend for the annual Go Bowling at the Glen.
It’s been over two months since the Cup Series last road raced at Circuit of the Americas in March. The Glen circuit is a 2.5 mile race with 11 turns, many long straights and winding corners. This weekend’s event will be 100 laps, divided into stages of 20, 30 and 50 laps.
Although Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott lead the group with wins in this race, Shane van Gisbergen is the biggest threat. Van Gisbergen boasts six career road and street course wins in only 13 starts, and he also took the checkered flag at the Glen last year.
