NASCAR Cup race caps long weekend at the Glen for road course stars

 

Thursday MAY 7TH-For the first time this season, road course ace Shane van Gisbergen will have a chance to defend one of his NASCAR Cup Series victories from last year.

 Van Gisbergen won the last five road course races of 2026, but because of schedule changes, he’ll have the chance to defend victories at only two of the venues—Watkins Glen and Sonoma Raceway.

 Monday May 4th-t’s time to take Chase Elliott seriously.

 Though that assertion runs the risk of stating the obvious, it bears remembering that Elliott hasn’t exactly been front of mind when it comes to the last three NASCAR Cup Series championships.

 In the three years after his five-win season in 2022, Elliott failed to qualify for the Championship 4 Race. In 2023, he raced only 29 times and won no races, thanks to a snowboarding injury and a one-race suspension for rough driving.
