<p>The NASCAR Cup Series continues to heat up, with the latest race day at the Go Bowling at The Glen meet on Monday (04:00 AEST).</p> <p>The annual visit to Watkins Glen International in New York, returns to August this year, after being used as part of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs in September last year.</p> <p>It’s a 90-lap, 220.5-mile course made up of street roads in upstate New York, with a total of seven turns on each lap. The race is renowned for its high-speed corners, elevation changes, and the unique demands it places on drivers, rewarding road course specialists.</p> <h2>NASCAR Go Bowling at The Glen Betting Preview</h2> <p>Given the time of year the race is typically held, Go Bowling at The Glen can frequently affect playoff contention. There are many areas where drivers can rack up points and improve their playoff standing, with overtaking opportunities in the bus stop and final corner often creating dramatic finishes.</p> <p>Historically, Chevrolet teams, with Hendrick Motorsports being the most notable, have dominated the winner’s circle in recent years, but the 2025 field features additional elite road racers and talented newcomers.</p> <p>Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen is one of those who is expected to be in the running for the chequered flag when it is waved. He has been dominant in races that have been contested on road courses, winning three so far:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Mexico City Grand Prix – His first road course win of the year.</p> <p>Chicago Street Race – Won his Cup Series debut race in Chicago, which is a street/road course event.</p> <p>Sonoma Raceway – Most recently won at Sonoma, dominating by leading 97 of the 110 laps and tying a record for consecutive road course wins.</p> <h2>NASCAR Go Bowling at The Glen Betting Predictions</h2> <p>When looking at the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/motor-racing/nascar/go-bowling-at-the-glen-9484175">NASCAR Go Bowling at The Glen betting odds</a>, Shane van Gisbergen is the big opening favourite. Van Gisbergen has a solid chance of making it four wins on road courses this time around, having finished second in last year’s event. His V8 Supercars background translates perfectly to the circuit, while Chevrolet teams have typically performed well at the track.</p> <p>However, is there value elsewhere? Well, Connor Zilisch could be worth a shot. The 19-year-old is also driving a Chevrolet, but he has taken the motorsport by storm. Zilisch is emerging as a road course expert and showing strong practice pace, and could challenge his Trackhouse Racing partner for the win in New York on Monday.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, Kyle Larson is a two-time Glen winner with proven Hendrick speed and an aggressive racing style, which will suit the course. He could offer additional value if you’re seeking alternatives to the two main favourites.</p>
