Big Brain of the Race: Watkins Glen

[HoneyBadger]

Any suggestions in this strategy-heavy race?

Obviously, not much you can do when you're on a road course against a Kryptonian, but looked like some good strategy calls for the 20 team to get to a runner-up finish, as well as the 17 team. And Bubba Wallace had another strong finish today.

My nomination goes to Justin Marks, however, for signing SVG and giving him a contract extension. SVG could very realistically make it to the Semifinal round. The points he's built up should get him past the first round. The second round has the Roval. He's also been decent on flat tracks and the first round has St. Louis and New England.

The 17 strategy. Not much else going on and I thought he had royally ****** up then all of a sudden saw him passing Byron for second near the end (pretty much a win beating everyone else but SVG at this point, and yes I realize Bell got by him).

The first round has Darlington and Bristol. Going to be tough.

I doubt the gerbils mentioned it or kept up with it much but there was tire fall off, especially the rears. Bell had a fresher set compared to Buescher. Buescher is all set to get screwed like last year when a last place yea who won at Daytona after over half of the field was knocked out of the race. Buescher lost his spot in the "playoffs" and the 17 team that really needed it fell by the wayside.

I think he's packing enough playoff points to get past round 1. As we all know, round 2 has the Roval but if he doesn't win that, he may not make the third round. I don't see any way he makes it through to the final this year; 2026 may be a very different critter.

It’s Cody Ware’s year.
