Watkins Glen NASCAR Odds Predict Chevrolet Dominance

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Watkins Glen International on August 21. Oddsmakers predict Chevrolet's dominance. Chase Elliott is the best-priced driver, Tyler Reddick is second, Kyle Larson is third and Ross Chastain is 9th. Austin Cindric is 10th-best-favourite driver.

Elliott has won three straight road course races at Watkins Glen International. He won his first career Cup Series race at the track in 2018. In 2019, he finished second, while teammate Kyle Larson won. The Cup series did not race in 2020 due to COVID, but it will return to the Watkins Glen in 2021.

There are seven different countries represented at Watkins Glen International. Guest drivers Mike Rockenfeller, Daniil Kvyat, Loris Hezemans, Kyle Tilley, and Kimi Raikkonen are at the back of the field. Raikonen is making his Cup Series debut and has better odds than Ty Gibbs (50-1), Erik Jones (100-1000), Todd Gilliland (125-100), Cole Custer (150-150), Bubba Wallace (250-300), and Austin Dillon (300-350).
