The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Watkins Glen, New York for its Cup Series race on Sunday, August 8th. The circuit will be running the race at the Watkins Glen International starting at 3:00 p.m. ET. The race will air on NBC Sports Network.
If you are not in front of a TV, you can view the race via live online stream at NBCSports.com/live and through the NBC Sports app. You will need a cable log-in to stream the race, so if you don’t have one, you can get a trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream both events.
Starting from the No. 11 spot, Chase Elliott enters as the favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook at +200 with -250 odds to finish in the top three and -650 odds to land in the top five. Elliott enters the Glen on Sunday going for a three-peat, having won the previous two events in 2018 and 2019 (no event in 2020).
Kyle Larson has the second highest odds at +250, followed by Martin Truex Jr. (+600), Kyle Busch (+750), and Denny Hamlin (+1100). Truex won the race in 2017 and has finished runner-up behind Elliott in his last two tries. Busch (2013) and Hamlin (2016) are also former winners. Brad Keselowski will start the race in pole position and enters with +3000 odds to capture the checkered flag.
