William Byron's typical trend at Watkins Glen has been a good finish followed by an unlucky result. Byron, the current points leader and one of NASCAR's top road racers, did win at Watkins Glen in dominant fashion in 2023 after beating Michael McDowell out of the pits, but he never led there otherwise. However, he virtually always runs well on road courses as he has three top tens including a second at Austin in his four previous starts, the one exception coming at Chicago where he crashed in practice and had a clutch failure early in the race. If he has no bad luck, he will likely finish better than his starting position of 10th, but since he's been inconsistent and doesn't lead quite as often here as on other tracks not to mention how difficult it is to pass and his relatively high salary, he might be a riskier choice than you think, but still he's likely one of the best options.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
