2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Picks and Predictions – Favorites and Bad Bets for the Go Bowling at The Glen: The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to Watkins Glen International this weekend for the second road course race of the 2018 season. The winding track will host Sunday’s Go Bowling at The Glen, and while road courses can occasionally open the door for strategy plays and surprise winners, plenty of the usual favorites have dominated at The Glen.
In fact, the three betting favorites this weekend are still the same drivers who have been dubbed the “Big 3” this year because of their dominance. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. have combined to win 16 races already, and they may be able to add another win to that total Sunday.
Take a closer look at the “Big 3” and all the betting favorites worth backing in this weekend’s Go Bowling at The Glen.
2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Picks and Predictions: Favorites and Bad Bets for the Go Bowling at The Glen
Favorites to Bet
Kyle Busch (3/1)
His numbers at Watkins Glen will stack up with any driver that has ever been behind the wheel. Busch is a two-time winner here, and he has finished in the top 10 in 11 of his 13 starts. He has also led laps in eight of his last 10 starts at Watkins Glen, leading double-digit laps six times and 20-plus laps five times. No driver seems to run up front at The Glen more frequently than Busch, and he should be one of the safest bets available this weekend.
Martin Truex Jr. (4/1)
Truex is fast becoming one of the premier road racers in the Cup Series. He led the most laps and went to victory lane at Watkins Glen a year ago, and he absolutely dominated the field at Sonoma back in June. Truex will try for back-to-back wins The Glen and three straight road course wins this weekend, and for my money, he’s the smartest bet on the board if you like backing the frontrunner.
Brad Keselowski (7/1)
Although he has never won at Watkins Glen, he has finished second three times and has four finishes of third or better in four starts at the track. He has also led at least 20 laps in four of his eight starts at The Glen, leading 20-plus in each of the last three races here. Keselowski always seems to be up front and in the mix for the win at this track, and he offers you about twice the payout potential of the top bets on the board.
Clint Bowyer (9/1)
He is one of the best road racers in the series today, and Bowyer has finished sixth or better in four of his last six starts at The Glen, logging a top-five finish here a year ago. Bower finished third in the first road course race of 2018 at Sonoma back in June, and he should be right back in the mix for the win this weekend. The fact that he has a little more room for profit than some of the other top road racers is just icing on the cake.
Bad Bets
Kevin Harvick (15/4)
Harvick has been one of the best in the series all season long, but Watkins Glen just hasn’t been his best track historically. He has just one top-five finish in the last 10 races here, and he has just three top-five finishes in 17 total starts at the track. At least for this week, I think his fellow championship favorites, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr., are the much better bets if you want to back the heavy favorites.
