The roar of engines is back on the open road. This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series shifts gears for one of its most thrilling challenges: the annual Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
It has been over two months since the Cup Series last tackled a road course at Circuit of the Americas in March, making this return to The Glen a highly anticipated event. The legendary 2.45-mile, 11-turn circuit—known for its long straights and winding corners—will host 100 laps of intense racing, divided into stages of 20, 30, and 50 laps.
While past winners like Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott bring star power to the grid, all eyes are on Shane van Gisbergen. The road-course specialist has been unstoppable on twisty tracks, boasting six career road and street course wins in just 13 starts—including a dominant victory at Watkins Glen last year. He is the driver to beat.
