Chase Elliott a Prohibitive Favorite at Watkins Glen on Sunday
3 years agoChase Elliott is the premier road course driver in NASCAR and the results speak for themselves. The last two times at Watkins Glen have produced victories as Elliott has led over 73% of the laps on the track. The No. 9 car is the one to beat with speed intervals later in the races that are the best by a solid margin. When a driver rating is nearly a perfect 150, that is scary. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing racer starts from the 11th position on Sunday which just means he may lead a few laps. Expect Elliott to race up the field and be in his familiar position of leading the race. His chances to win Sunday are higher than anyone.
