Qualifying Results
John Battista is the only driver to clinch a Chase birth every year since the 2018 season! During the same stretch, he has absolutely obliterated the field at Watkins Glen. Four victories, a third and a fourth place finish; not long after his "heart attack" inner-loop flip during his rookie campaign. Lucas Racing keeps that #94 McDonald's Ford in their "Junk-Pile Necropolis" as a reminder of what not to do. The #39 Wendy's Chevrolet comes in 111 points behind Timothy McDonnell for the final Chase spot. Look for a near-inevitable gain in the Bud at The Glen!
Watkins Glen Results (2018-2023)
Two races remain in the regular season! Only three of the twelve mainstream chase contenders qualified inside the top-10 for the Bud at The Glen. Dakota Wilkins looks to rebound from his horrid two-race stretch by methodically crawling from his 44th starting spot to a top-20 finish. Timothy McDonnell hopes to stretch his nine-point advantage over Dave Miller at one of his favorite racetracks. He will start on the outside pole. Watkins Glen master-mind John Battista will come from the 26th spot, with Markell Murphy, Ryan Heuser, Logan Sheets hoping to block his path to the front. Rick Jackson and Dave Miller just hope to finish.
