Go Bowling At The Glen Predictions
OPTION 1: Kyle Larson (+800)
Larson is currently 10th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with 2041 points. In his 26 starts this season, he has a season-high four wins, 10 top-5 finishes and 13 top-10s. He also likes racing at The Glen. In his three races here since 2021, he’s won twice and his other finish was 26th. Larson’s Average Driver Rating at The Glen is 111.1. While his No. 20 pole position isn’t advantageous, he’s still a threat on a track he has run well on over the years.
OPTION 2: A.J. Allmendinger (+1200)
Allmendinger is out of the playoffs but that means he’s free to push it today at a track he has performed well on since 2021. In his last two races at The Glen, Allmendinger finished in the top-5 each time, finishing second once and fourth the other time. His Average Driver Rating at The Glen is 108.7, which is bested by only Larson’s 111.1.
OPTION 3: William Byron (+1400)
Byron is currently fifth in the NASCAR Cup Series postseason standings at +33. In 27 races this season, Byron has three wins, 14 top-10 finishes and eight top-5s. At The Glen, his Average Driver Rating of 102.0 is bested by only Larson and Allmendinger. Unlike Allmendinger, Byron has a win here since 2021 and finished in the top-10 twice in his last three races here (his other finish was 22nd). With plenty on the line, I like Byron to compete today.
