2022 NASCAR at Watkins Glen - Start time, how to watch, entry list & more

NASCAR is back road racing for the penultimate round of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series regular season.

Watch: Truex, Elliott or Reddick — who has the upper hand at Watkins Glen?

With just two races left in the regular season, NASCAR returns to the picturesque New York State road course. At Richmond, Kevin Harvick went back-to-back with his second victory of the season, just one week after snapping a 65-race winless streak.

Ryan Blaney, remains on the playoff bubble while Martin Truex Jr. sits just outside the playoffs. A win would lock either of them in, but Truex could potentially point his way in if he overtakes Blaney in the standings. 

Christopher Buescher, as we're calling him now, very nearly became the 16th different winner as he challenged Harvick for the lead late at Richmond. If one of the drivers outside the top-16, like Buescher, were to win at WGI or Daytona, it would put both Blaney and Truex in a must-win situation
