Shriners Children's 200 at The Glen
Another road course week is upon us and we will look at it the same from a strategy perspective. With only 82 laps we won't have as much opportunity for dominator points, which means we will need to just focus on place differential with some finishing position upside as well. Those two could be within the same plays depending on qualifying.

We have similar pricing this week in that it is very soft. It is easy to fit in two of the top priced drivers at $10,000 and above. Gibbs has been so good in his Xfinity career and just won last week in Indy. Riley Herbst has been 13th-or-better the last two seasons at Watkins Glen. Kaz Grala is a really good road racer and was fifth here a year ago to go with his top-10 last week at Indy. Jeremy Clements has been 16th-or-better the last four years here and comes in at a cheap tag. As long as he doesn't qualify too high, Clements could be a strong place differential play. I feel like I'm on Anthony Alfredo a lot of road course weeks, but I like his steady performance and was 18th a year ago. Overall, I like Alfredo's performance over the last four races and see a good weekend out of him here.
