NASCAR at Watkins Glen: Vegas odds, fantasy advice, prediction, sleepers, drivers to watch

Posted July 24, 2019

The Big 3 will appear to keep their dominance as NASCAR heads to the next road-course race of this season: the GoBowling at the Glen 220.

While Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. are understandably the favorites once again, on this 2.45-mile monitor at Watkins Glen there are bound to be a couple of drivers, that one might not anticipate, threatening the leaders.

AJ Allmendinger has just two top-10 finishes this year, however with four top-10s in his past five races at the Glen such as a win in 2014, he will be at or near the top all day long as his competitive nature plays well on those street courses – even when Watkins Glen isn’t as technically challenging as Sonoma.

Denny Hamlin might not be quite the same sort of sleeper pick as Allmendinger, however with five top-10 endings – including four in the top 5 in his past five road-course races – that the 37-year-old needs to be optimistic that he can grab his first win of the year in New York on Sunday.
