Watkins Glen International served as the host of a NASCAR Cup Series playoff race last season, but after just one year in the postseason, the iconic venue has been moved back to its traditional August regular season date to host Sunday's Go Bowling at The Glen.
This race is the fourth and final road course race (and the fifth and final non-oval race) on the 26-race regular season schedule, with only races at short track Richmond Raceway and superspeedway Daytona International Speedway remaining before the four-round, 10-race playoffs.
There is still one road course race on the playoff schedule, and that is a race that has only ever been in the playoffs since it was added to the calendar in 2018. The Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval is once again set to wrap up the round of 12 in October.
Team Penske's Ryan Blaney took the pole position for Sunday's 90-lap race around the eight-turn, 2.454-mile (3.949-kilometer) road course in Watkins Glen, New York in Saturday's qualifying session, and Trackhouse Racing's Shane van Gisbergen joined him on the front row.
A full starting lineup is available here.
