Van Gisbergen Aims for Repeat Win at Watkins Glen
10 May
Summary
- Shane van Gisbergen is the favorite and starts on the pole.
- Chase Elliott, a two-time past winner, is a top contender.
- The race features 100 laps over a 2.45-mile road course.
The 2026 Go Bowling at The Glen is set to electrify Watkins Glen International this Sunday, May 10th. Shane van Gisbergen, the reigning champion, is poised for a repeat performance, having secured the pole position with a dominant qualifying run on the intricate seven-turn road course.
Fellow favorite Chase Elliott, fresh off a victory at Texas Motor Speedway, also enters the competition as a significant threat. Elliott's past successes at Watkins Glen, including back-to-back wins in 2018 and 2019, make him a formidable opponent.
The 100-lap race will cover 245 miles on the challenging 2.45-mile road course. This event, broadcast on FS1, promises high-stakes action as drivers navigate the twists and turns of one of NASCAR's most historic tracks.
