The favorite: Last year at Watkins Glen, Shane van Gisbergen finished eighth in Stage 1, 22nd in Stage 2 and led 38 laps the day before entering Victory Lane. And as things stand at the moment, SVG could use a win; the driver of car #97 has yet to win in 2026. He is also 19th in the standings. However, he has two top 10s this year and one top-five finish. Bettors may also note that van Gisbergen won five of the six NASCAR road races in 2025 and finished second at COTA earlier this year.
One to watch: Another driver fans may want to keep an eye on is Ryan Blaney. At The Glen in 2025, Blaney won 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.
