NASCAR Race at The Glen 2025 Betting Information, Schedule, and Forecast
The NASCAR Cup Series is gearing up for the Go Bowling at The Glen race, scheduled for August 10 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York. This road race is the first of three events remaining in the 2025 regular season.
The top favourite for this race, according to NASCAR odds, is Shane van Gisbergen. The New Zealander is recognised for his exceptional road racing skills and recent streak of road course wins. He is listed as the strong favourite with odds around -165 to -145 in various sources.
Van Gisbergen has already proven his mettle on the Watkins Glen course, having won the Xfinity race (Mission 200 at the Glen) held on this course last September. He is expected to challenge for a victory once again.
Following Van Gisbergen, notable contenders with comparatively longer odds include William Byron (+600), Michael McDowell (+1200), Kyle Larson (+1100 to +1800), and Kyle Busch (+2200 to +2500). Busch is a strong longshot due to his past road course success, including wins at Watkins Glen.
Chase Elliott, a two-time winner at Watkins Glen, is also among the favourites with odds of +1800 to +3000. Other drivers mentioned with competitive odds include Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher, Chase Briscoe, Ty Gibbs, and Ross Chastain, among others, but all are behind Shane van Gisbergen's standout position.
Among the other drivers expected to give a strong performance at The Glen are A.J. Allmendinger and Carson Hocevar. Tyler Reddick, despite a strong performance on road courses, finishing 6th at Sonoma and 3rd in Chicago, might struggle due to his lacklustre performance at The Glen in the past.
Alex Bowman, a fine road driver, could do well at The Glen, despite a blunder at Sonoma. However, Connor Zilisch, a 19-year-old prodigy, is expected to do well in the race, despite not being eligible for Cup Series points. Zilisch has already driven three Cup Series races, but was involved in a crash in two of them.
Brad Keselowski, the 2012 Cup Series champ, is also determined to challenge for a Playoff spot. Chris Buescher, who hasn't done much on road courses but needs a win or a strong performance to improve his standings, is another driver to watch out for.
The race will start at 2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 10, 2025. Fans in the US can watch the race on USA Network. Tune in to catch the thrilling action at The Glen!
