Who Chooses the checkered flag Because the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to Watkins Glen?
Here are our selections for the road race of the season.
Winner: Kyle Busch
Rowdy is out for blood after taking his first checkered flag of the season a week at Pocono. After winning his first Xfinity Series race at The Glen on Saturday, Busch begins in the pole on Sunday as he chases his third career win at the track. From our perspective, as long as Busch doesn’t wreck or see his motor fail, he must at least finish in the top five.
Contenders: Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr..
We’re not really ready to give up about the 2016 championship runner-up, especially after his second-place complete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Logano marched out his whole Cup team on Saturday and they did not disappoint. His team knows it’s win or go home, so anticipate the 2015 Watkins Glen winner to take his shot at Victory Lane on Sunday. As for Truex Jr., nicely his r??sum?? speaks for itself. The points leader owns 14 period wins, three race wins, eight top-fives and a 29 playoff points. Truex Jr. led the most complete laps in Sonoma in June prior to fighting engine failure with just 25 to go. Best believe he has not forgotten about that…
Wild Card: AJ Allmendinger
We’re not very high on the road course specialist back in Sonoma, and for good reason. Allmendinger finished 35th despite nearly winning a stage in June. This time around we think that it’s going to differ. Despite a run in practice, Allmendinger’s results at Watkins Glen talk for themselves. Besides a win in 2014, he’s got a normal finish within the top 10 in eight career starts there. Do not be shocked if Allmendinger plays spoiler into a motorist on the playoff bubble Sunday.
