Favorites
Chase Elliott (+330 on DraftKings)
Elliott is still winless, but he’s got a great chance of taking a checkered flag this weekend to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Hendricks Motorsports driver has two wins in six career appearances at Watkins Glen International. He also has four top 10s and six top 20s there.
Kyle Larson (+600 on DraftKings)
Like Elliott, Larson has a pair of victories at Watkins Glen International in eight career appearances there. He also carries an impressive career average finish there of 10.5 – third-best among drivers with at least eight starts on the said track.
Martin Truex Jr. (+700 on DraftKings)
Truex is easily one of the best drivers this season and one of the hottest of late as well. He has finished inside the top 10 in each of his last five starts, including a win in the Crayon 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Last week, he finished seventh in the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course.
Sleeper Picks
William Byron (+2200 on DraftKings)
Byron doesn’t need to win a race to get a spot in the playoffs, but that’s not going to be a reason for him not to try to win this race on Sunday. He is winless in four starts at Watkins Glen International and has not cracked the top 10 in any of his last five starts, so he must be really thirsty for success right now.
Alex Bowman (+2800 on DraftKings)
Bowman is coming off a fifth-place finish last week in the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard. He also has three top 15s in his last four starts at Watkins Glen International. On the season, Bowman has four top 5s and seven top 10s.
Dark Horse
Austin Dillon (+15000 on DraftKings)
Dillon remains in search of his first win of the season, but he;s got six top 10s and a top five.
El Jefe’s Prediction on 2023 Go Bowling at the Glen
Chase Elliott has always been a strong driver at Watkins Glen International. That plus the fact that he NEEDS a win to guarantee a playoff spot will drive him to success this weekend.
