Connor Zilisch and Shane van Gisbergen hope to be on the right track at Watkins Glen
Trackhouse Racing’s three drivers seek extra laps on an altered road course as the team tries to rebound from four top-10 finishes in 11 races.
This weekend, Trackhouse Racing drivers Shane van Gisbergen, Connor Zilisch, and Ross Chastain compete at Watkins Glen International, seeking to rebound from a difficult start to the 2026 season.
Pulling triple-duty in NASCAR's top three national series, the trio hopes extra laps on the track's altered layout with new tire packs will improve performance after a difficult start to the year.
Sportsbooks list van Gisbergen as the favorite at +130, followed by Zilisch at +400 and points leader Tyler Reddick at +750 entering the race.
Katherine Legge makes her 2026 Cup debut at Watkins Glen before catching a 5 a.m. flight Monday for Indianapolis 500 practice. Legge aims to become the first woman to race the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
After his humorous victory lane fall last year at Watkins Glen, Zilisch remains a fan favorite despite breaking his collarbone exiting the car. He avoided missing any starts with the injury.
