What time and channel is the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen?

NASCAR returns after a two-week break due to the Tokyo Olympics, heading to upstate New York for an exciting weekend of road course action at Watkins Glen International.

Watch: Chad Knaus on Chase Elliott’s road-course dominance: ‘Very Jimmie Johnson-esque’

What time is the NASCAR race?

All three series are racing this weekend at Watkins Glen. The Cup Series will take the green flag Sunday following the Truck and Xfinity Series races Saturday

  • Race: Go Bowling at The Glen
  • Date: Sunday, August 8th, 2021
  • Start time: 3 p.m. EST.
  • Location: Watkins Glen International (NY)

This race will kick-off two consecutive weekends of road course racing at NASCAR's highest level as the series then heads to Indianapolis for a race that will utilize the infield road course.

Denny Hamlin leads the regular season points standings, but has yet to win this year. NASCAR did not race at The Glen last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the most recent winner came back in 2019 with Chase Elliott. The reigning series champion will be looking for his third straight victory at WGI.
