Last weekend at Iowa, Hendrick Motorsports ace William Byron came away victorious, putting on a fine fuel-saving display to fend off the likes of Chase Briscoe and Brad Keselowski for his second win of the season.

At last year's Cup Series event at Watkins Glen, RFK Racing star Chris Buescher was the man to take the victory, his first of the season, which locked him into the 2024 playoffs - an achievement he would love to repeat this weekend.

It remains to be seen who emerges victorious this time around, however, with the return to road course racing adding an extra element of complexity for the drivers and their teams.

With that said, let's get into the all-important details that you came here for.
