Who takes the checkered flag?
Here are our selections for the road race of this season.
Winner: Kyle Busch
After shooting his first checkered flag of the season a week at Pocono rowdy is out for blood. After winning his first Xfinity Series race at The Glen on Saturday, Busch will start from the pole on Sunday because he chases his third career win at the track. From our perspective, so long as Busch does not wreck or see his motor neglect, he must at least finish in the top five.
Contenders: Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr..
We are simply not prepared to give up about the 2016 championship event, especially after his second-place finish in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Logano marched out his whole Cup team on Saturday and they didn’t disappoint. His team knows it’s win or go home, so expect the 2015 Watkins Glen winner to take his shot Victory Lane on Sunday. As for Truex Jr., nicely his r??sum?? speaks for itself. The points leader possesses 14 stage wins, three race wins, eight top-fives and a 29 playoff points. Truex Jr. led the most overall laps in Sonoma in June before suffering engine failure with only 25 to proceed. Best think he hasn’t forgotten about that…
Wild Card: AJ Allmendinger
We were not so high on the road course specialist back at Sonoma, and for good reason. Allmendinger completed 35th, despite winning a stage in June. This time around we think that it’s going to be different. Despite a run in clinic, Allmendinger’s results at Watkins Glen talk for themselves. In addition to a win in 2014, he’s got a normal finish within the top 10 there. Do not be surprised if Allmendinger plays spoiler to a motorist on the playoff bubble Sunday.
