For the second time this year, Ryan Blaney will lead the NASCAR Cup Series field to green for Sunday's Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International (2 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).

See where your favorite driver will start in Upstate New York with three races remaining before the 2025 Cup Series Playoffs.


Note: Connor Zilisch was scheduled to start 25th, but Trackhouse Racing elected to withdraw his No. 87 entry after Zilisch was injured in Victory Lane after Saturday's Xfinity Series race.
