The starting lineup for the NASCAR Cup series held at Watkins Glen International on Sunday was determined by applying the statistical formula used by NASCAR in most of the 2022 series.
The starting position of the drivers in The Glen’s Go Bowling (3pm EST; NBCSN, TSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) is based on four factors:
- The finish position of the driver in a race (25%)
- Owner’s last race finish ranking (25%)
- Team owner points ranking (35%)
- The fastest lap of the previous race (15%)
NASCAR will only qualify and practice for the eight cup series in the 2022 season. The remaining courses will be held on August 15th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Phoenix City, and will participate in the championship 4 season end race on November 7th.
The following is the starting lineup for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup series on the 3.4-mile road circuit in Watkins Glen. There is no qualifying lineup for this lineup.
