The most recent win came off a winning time of 2:54:55.<\/p>\n The 36-year old van Gisbergen has finished 42nd and 45th in the last two Cup Series seasons, but he\u2019s ranked 25th. This shows his progression in the competitive race environment.<\/p>\n Christopher Bell \t<\/p>\n While not the favorite to win the race, there\u2019s no counting out Bell.<\/p>\n He enters the race having won four prior races in this Cup Series season: Ambetter Health 400, EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, Shriners Children\u2019s 500 and the NASCAR All-Star Race.<\/p>\n Dating back to 2022, Bell slowly started drifting one spot below his finishing results by the year. He finished third in the standings in 2022, then fourth in 2023, and fifth in 2024. <\/p>\n Yet with the tear he\u2019s been on, it\u2019s hard to think he would continue that trend and not break out on top.<\/p>\n Tyler Reddick <\/p>\n Remember when Reddick set that NASCAR record at Daytona for the closest finish in NASCAR Xfinity Series history? That was back in 2018, when he defeated Elliott Sadler by a margin of 0.0004 seconds.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the kind of magic Reddick can make when it counts.<\/p>\n And having finished in the top 10 in the last two years, it\u2019s time for Reddick to make his run to the top.<\/p>\n Chase Elliott<\/p>\n Despite only two race victories to his name, Elliott knows he\u2019s in a good spot with a current second place ranking, per NASCAR\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n Having not won the Cup Series since 2020, this year he knows he has a good chance, but is chasing that one ghost in front of him.<\/p>\n William Byron<\/p>\n Elliott\u2019s ghost? The one and only William Byron.<\/p>\n He\u2019s finished third in the Cup Series in back to back years, and is looking to cut that trend and avoid a third year of deja vu.<\/p>\n Byron leads all drivers in points (770) with 12 top-10 finishes to his name so far.<\/p>\n The title is his to lose.<\/p>\n The history of Go Bowling at the Glen <\/p>\n The Watkins Glen International Speedway holds around 38,900 fans. In this race, the drivers lap around the Speedway 90 times, on a 2.45-mile road course, according to the NASCAR Cup Series site.<\/p>\n Racing at Watkins Glen dates back to 1957.
