NASCAR heads on the road again this weekend with the Go Bowling At The Glen. After two straight wins from Ford, the chances of a third seemed remote. Yet, it happened again. With only two races before the playoffs begin, urgency keeps on rising for bettors and fans alike. Alright, now it is time for the NASCAR Vegas odds for the Watkins Glen race. Get ready for 90 laps of left and right turns.
The Glen numbers for Sunday afternoon are about what one would expect for a race that typically does not see overtime. Yes, Chase Elliott still needs to win ideally with two races left. That being said, the Bovada online betting sportsbook helps out with some early numbers and maybe an extra racer or two.

Always look for some extra NASCAR props before qualifying on Saturday.
NASCAR Watkins Glen Bets feature some early playoff scenarios. Now, with Michael McDowell clinching a spot after last Sunday’s jarring win, the playoff bubble gets even smaller. Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, or both could still make the playoff chase. One of them is at least safe given the points cushion they enjoy. Naturally, that depends on who wins the final two races at Watkins Glen and then Daytona next week.
So, Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman have shown great road course results. Hendrick Motorsports has been very good at Watkins Glen. Yes, Kyle Larson has won the past two races even if he got a slight gift from Chase Elliott in the last one. This Watkins Glen Road Course is only 11 turns in all at a length of 2.454 miles. Currently, the weather expects to not be an issue, but that can always change.
Reality dictates that everything points to Chase Elliott winning this race on Sunday. The numbers do not lie in more ways than one. NASCAR debatably needs the No. 9 car to finish one step above second. That would get him into the playoffs and not leave it up to Daytona (he has won there). Also, it would ensure a likely ratings boost. For better or worse, Chase Elliott brings the fans to the courses and the television screens.
VegasBetting got stunned by the results last week. It was a good week as four of the top five qualifiers finished in the top five. Yes, the order was different than expected. Also, only one caution came out during the race at Indianapolis. Tranquil conditions on the track and up in the sky helped in a big way.
NASCAR Watkins Glen bets expect a likelihood of no overtime on Sunday. Alas, anything can happen, so it’s always good to check the weather and qualifying track conditions. Saturday qualifying allowed bettors to take some shots not possible during the middle of the week. Chase Elliott tilts at +350 on BetUS (but +550 on Bovada). Watch numbers heavily as the expectation of shifts is high.
Okay, let us look less at race correlation here and more at previous track and Indianapolis speeds from last week. There lies little doubt that Kyle Larson likes this course. He has won it in the past two outings. Hendrick likes the course too. Chase Elliott again was one of the quickest and last week had the fastest lap at the Brickyard. Do not forget about Toyota. Tyler Reddick and even Martin Truex Jr. could be factors at Watkins Glen.
Now, only 36 drivers will be racing on Sunday afternoon at Watkins Glen. There are a few possibilities on results. Again, Elliott off last week, and his speed at “The Glen” will be a heavier and heavier favorite. Does the pressure get to him? Are we looking at the wrong Chevy? Could Daniel Suárez sneak in or even William Byron steal a victory? Either way, there lies tons of pressure on the latest driver in the 16th playoff spot – Bubba Wallace.
Naturally, with the playoffs casting an omen of sorts, a win from someone outside the top 16 puts additional pressure on Wallace and either Harvick/Keselowski. If that winner is not Elliott, that changes a ton of strategy heading into Daytona. This makes wagering on Sunday quite challenging but lots of fun. Picking Larson or Elliott would be easy here. Martin Truex Jr. gets our nod. He is fast, and Toyota might not fade here.
Vegas Betting site bonuses could help for this weekend. With easier driving conditions possible, the NASCAR Watkins Glen Betting Picks can consider a few long shot drivers. This allowed us to pivot to Michael McDowell when his speed was clearer on Saturday in practice and even qualifying. Again, that may be the more important day to set up Sunday.
Yes, stage structure (20-20-50) aids predictions too. The key is towards the end. Does the long-run play out? If it does and incidents do not happen late, that spells doom for longer shots. However, if some chaos reigns, a driver like Denny Hamlin is worth at look at +2200. That first-half speed could carry late at The Glen.
The NASCAR Watkins Glen bets ride with several cars. Again, does one take the plunge on a Ford given Chevy/Toyota have won six straight times? Even A.J. Allmendinger (+1400 on Bovada) has won here before in 2014. Alex Bowman could be an intriguing threat at +3300 via BetOnline
NASCAR Watkins Glen Bets for VegasBetting takes Martin Truex Jr. to clinch the top spot for the playoffs.
