Who is going to win the Go Bowling at The Glen?

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott (+1000) looks to defend his crown at Watkins Glen. He stormed to a victory and berth in the Chase last season at the New York road course. Elliott has never finished lower than 13th in three career Cup races at The Glen, posting a 9.0 Average-Finish Position (AFP) with 61 laps led.

The winner has started from the sixth position or higher in eight of the past nine starts at Watkins Glen, so watch qualifying very closely. The outlier was Penske Racing’s Joey Logano (+1200), who won from the 16th position in 2015.

NASCAR’s Loop Data shows Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch (+250) as the leader in Driver Average (109.3) over the past five starts at Watkins Glen. He is seventh or better in each of the past four stops at the New York track, although he hasn’t won since 2013, which is a long drought for Busch considering his solid performances on the road courses. He is a strong bet as the chalk.

JGR’s Erik Jones (+2800) has been third or better in each of his past three race weekends, and he was 10th in 2017 and fifth in 2018 in his two previous Cup starts at The Glen. He is sniffing Victory Lane, but coming up just short of late. Perhaps this weekend is when he breaks through for that elusive checkered flag.

Another JGR driver, Martin Truex Jr. (+350), has also posted strong numbers at Watkins Glen. In 13 career Cup starts, MTJ has a win, five top-5 finishes, eight top-10 starts and 34 laps led with a strong 11.3 AFP. He was the runner-up to Elliott last season after taking checkers in his championship season of 2017.

Watkins Glen International long-shot bets

Stewart-Haas Racing’s Daniel Suarez (+2800) has been a quick study in two Cup starts at Watkins Glen, posting a third-place finish in 2017, and a fourth-place run last season.

If you’re REALLY looking for a long shot, consider Gaunt Brothers Racing driver, and part-time NBC analyst, Parker Kligerman(+150000). He was 24th at this event last season in his only previous Cup try, but he has a pair of sixth-place runs on the Xfinity circuit, so he knows the course well.
