NASCAR at Watkins Glen picks, odds: Kyle Busch going for weekend sweep

Who Chooses the checkered flag?

Here are our picks for this season’s road race.

Winner: Kyle Busch
After taking his first checkered flag of the season last week at Pocono, rowdy is out for blood. After winning his first Xfinity Series race at The Glen on Saturday, Busch will start in the pole on Sunday as he chases his third career win in the track. From our perspective, as long as Busch doesn’t mess or see his motor fail, he should at least finish in the top five.

Contenders: Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr..
We’re simply not ready to give up on the 2016 championship runner-up, especially after his second-place finish in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Logano marched his entire Cup crew on Saturday and they didn’t disappoint. His team knows it’s win or go home, so anticipate the 2015 Watkins Glen winner to take his shot at Victory Lane on Sunday. As for Truex Jr., nicely his r??sum?? speaks for itself. The points leader owns eight top-fives, 14 period wins, three race wins plus a 29 playoff points that are ridiculous. Truex Jr. led the most overall laps in Sonoma in June before suffering engine failure with just 25 to go. Best think he hasn’t forgotten about that…

Wild Card: AJ Allmendinger
We were not very high on the road course specialist back at Sonoma, and for good reason. Allmendinger completed 35th, despite nearly winning a point in June. This time around we think that it’s going to differ. Despite a mediocre run in practice, the results at Watkins Glen of Allmendinger talk for themselves. Besides a triumph in 2014, he’s got a normal finish within the top 10 in eight career starts there. Don’t be shocked if Allmendinger plays spoiler into a motorist on the playoff bubble Sunday.
