Who won the NASCAR race today? Full results, standings from Watkins Glen International in New York
NASCAR’s top-flight returned to Watkins Glen International on Sunday, one day after Xfinity star Connor Zilisch raced to gold at the famous track.
The racecourse is difficult to maneuver around; just ask Austin Hill, who collected a dozen cars in a collision while attempting to veer around Michael McDowell on Saturday afternoon.
Incidents like those can prove common at The Glen. The 2.54-mile track can be a harbinger of chaos for those unfamiliar with its bends and rhythms. Fortunately for Sunday’s race, there were more than a few jockeys capable of taming the monstrosity.
Last year, Chris Buescher nabbed a momentous victory at the site, downing all foes — including road course supernova Shane van Gisbergen — to pick up his first win of the 2024 season at The Glen. Who took home the Go Bowling at The Glen crown this time around? Here’s what you need to know.
