The favorite: Last year at Watkins Glen, Shane van Gisbergen finished eighth in Stage 1, 22nd in Stage 2 and led 38 laps on the day before reaching Victory Lane. And as it currently stands, SVG could use a win; The driver of car number 97 has yet to win in 2026. He is also 19th in the standings. However, he has two top-10 finishes this year and one top-five finish. Bettors will also want to note that van Gisbergen won five of NASCAR’s six road courses in 2025 and finished second at COTA earlier this year.

One to watch: Another driver fans will want to keep an eye on is Ryan Blaney. At The Glen in 2025, Blaney won the pole, finished seventh in Stage 1, won Stage 2, and finished the race sixth overall after leading 35 laps. On the No. 12’s resume so far this year are seven top 10s, three top-five finishes and one win. He is currently fourth in the standings.
