Could Ty Gibbs Get His First Cup Series Win At Watkins Glen This Weekend?
4 weeks agoTy Gibbs is still knocking on the door of his first NASCAR Cup Series win, and nobody would be surprised if that first victory came at a road course, such as Watkins Glen this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing rookie has emerged as one of the best drivers on the road courses ever since he joined NASCAR's top series, and at COTA and Sonoma this season he has the best average running position (4.76) of all drivers. In all of the road course races since the start of 2023, Gibbs ranks fifth-best in that statistic with a 10.58 average running position. Gibbs finished fifth at The Glen last season and should be a strong, top-five contender this weekend as well. The No. 54 Toyota was 17th-fastest in practice on Saturday and Gibbs will roll off from the 15th-place starting spot on Sunday.
