The heavy favorite to win this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen is Shane van Gisbergen, but if he were to have issues or something were to happen, Michael McDowell would definitely be in contention to grab the win and shake up the playoff landscape. McDowell is one of the premier road-course racers in the series, and just last month, he was able to post another top-five finish on this track type after finishing fourth at Sonoma a month ago. Here at Watkins Glen specifically, McDowell ended up seventh last year and sixth back in 2022. This weekend, he should be a top-five threat, as the No. 71 Chevrolet posted some really good lap times in practice and McDowell also qualified sixth. That limits his place-differential upside in DFS, but at just $8,400 on DraftKings, McDowell is still a solid tournament play on Sunday.--Jordan McAbee
