Entry Lists and Schedule Set for NASCAR at Watkins Glen

Road-course ace Shane van Gisbergen enters as the early favorite.

Overview

  • NASCAR, which released the official entry lists Monday, confirmed 38 Cup entries, 39 in the O'Reilly Series, and 38 in Trucks, so one O'Reilly team and two Truck teams will miss the race on speed.
  • The Cup schedule puts practice at 1 p.m. ET and qualifying at 2:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, with the Go Bowling at The Glen set for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on FS1.
  • Shane van Gisbergen is entered in the No. 97 Trackhouse Chevrolet for the Cup race, and prediction coverage tabs him as a top contender after his dominant win at The Glen last year.
  • Spire Motorsports announced Tuesday an expanded Go Bowling partnership that places the brand on Michael McDowell’s No. 71 Cup car and on Tristan McKee’s ARCA entry for Friday’s race.
  • Tickets for Sunday remain available starting at $39, and crossover drivers such as Connor Zilisch and Ross Chastain are set to run multiple series, which could influence qualifying pressure and pit strategy throughout the weekend.
