Earnhardt remained around the garage area until the day’s second practice ended, then planned to return to his Iredell County home later Friday afternoon.
Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five on Saturday at Watkins Glen.
Edwards, who won at Sonoma in 2014, has never won at Watkins Glen.
This weekend at Watkins Glen, the No. 88 will have Cup legend Jeff Gordon driving, just as he did the past two races.
Of course, picking the victor isn’t the only thing you have to be concerned about when it comes to building a successful DFS NASCAR lineup, and driver starting outside the top 20 can still be valuable fantasy options. “We have a little more work to do”. Gordon who turns 45-years-old this week will be making his 800th career start at the Glen this weekend.
The NASCAR world has arrived at Watkins Glen International for the Cheez-It 355. It was the fourth pole of the season for Edwards in his No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing and gave him a road course season sweep.
Three accidents from aggressive, no-holds barred driving by some of NASCAR’s top guns along with debris and oil flying from cars literally disintegrating before the eyes of another sellout crowd of 100,000-plus fans conspired to turn a attractive country drive into stop-and-go traffic. You can also watch FNTSY on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. He needs to be in the top 30 in points and sits 31st, six points behind David Ragan, who will start alongside Buescher in the 13th row. And he stated emphatically, at times as if trying to convince those around him of what he has convinced himself: that his “gaze stability” and balance symptoms eventually will subside and that he will emerge stronger and resume a career in which he has won 26 Cup races, the Daytona 500 twice, two Xfinity Series championships, became wealthy and basked in the adoration of a generation of fans.
The Middletown, Connecticut native has exhibited good form lately with seven top 10s in his last nine starts, including five top fives. Don’t hesitate to use him as a low-cost option in all formats.
Joey Logano topped the first round. He is a low-risk, low-priced option to consider, especially in cash games. Off the track, he noted Watkins Glen is in “a great area of the country”. Despite one shocking Top 10 finish, he still has a 28.0 AFP in five tries. Pencil her in for 30-plus fantasy points at a great price.
“You’ve got somebody that just pulled out of the pits and sees you coming literally I don’t understand what the 17 was thinking”, Truex said.”He was just leaving pit road and he wasn’t in a hurry to get anywhere. I should be able to get through events like that without having any issues”.

At least for now, I’m going to assume Cassill will be allowed to run clean, and since he is starting dead last, he has nothing to lose through place differential. Stewart won the previous road course race at Sonoma and is looking to win his sixth race at the Glen and his ninth victory at a road course.
