Watkins Glen International—fondly known as “The Glen”—is a legendary road-course nestled at the southern tip of Seneca Lake in New York. Sporting a 2.45‑mile layout with seven challenging turns, it’s been a staple of NASCAR Cup Series racing since 1986, hosting thrilling battles and unforgettable finishes.

The 2024 race winners at Watkins Glen in each series were Chris Buescher (Cup), Connor Zilisch (Xfinity) and Zilisch (ARCA). Last season, the race weekend was held a month later during the first round of the Cup playoffs.
