NASCAR Go Bowling at the Glen Odds & Picks

Martin Truex Jr. leads the NASCAR standings, but he's not among the top two favorites to win the 2023 Go Bowling at the Glen. Instead, Chase Elliott looks to continue his road-course success while Kyle Larson looks for a third straight win at this track.

The race atop the standings in the NASCAR Cup series is tight, as following last week's race at the Brickyard — where none of the big dogs even finished within the Top 5 — Martin Truex Jr. holds a 60-point lead in the standings, with roughly 100 points separating spots 2-10.

This week, we're at Watkins Glen, where the NASCAR Cup Series odds leader Truex will look to extend his points gap — but he's not the betting favorite to win this weekend.

We'll look at early Go Bowling at the Glen odds and give our best free betting picks for this race on Sunday, August 20.

Go Bowling at the Glen field

Despite sitting 19th in the points standings, Chase Elliott is the favorite, coming off a second-place finish at Indy last week. Although that was his first finish inside the Top 10 in his last five races, Elliott has won twice at Watkins Glen and has finished second, third, and fifth in three road-course events this year.

Behind him is Kyle Larson, who has seven Top-8 finishes in his last 10 races and has won each of the last two races here, while Truex is third on the after finishing seventh last weekend, his fifth straight Top-7 result and ninth in his last 11 outings.

As for the rest of the field, the changes on the preliminary entry list from last weekend come from Rick Ware Racing, which is swapping cars for Andy Lally (from No. 51 to No. 15) and Cole Custer, while former 24 Hour of Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller will make his fourth Cup Series appearance this weekend after replacing Noah Gragson for Legacy Motor Club's No. 42 Camaro at the Verizon 200.

We'll also get the third straight Cup Series race featuring Josh Bilicki, who is on a partial contract with Live Fast Motorsports, although he finished 32nd in each of the last two events and has yet to finish better than 23rd in seven events this season.
