Cheez-It 355 at The Glen Preview

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series visits it final Road Course of 2015! Underdog A.J, Almindinger took home the victory last season and as you may imagine many teams are viewing this as their last shot at making the Chase for The Sprint Cup. Former winners of this race who haven't gotten a win yet in 2015 include last years winner A.J Almindinger, Tony Stewart who holds the record for 5 Wins at The Glen, and Jeff Gordon who has won at The Glen 4 times will make his Final Glen start! I'd certainly have these 3 on your fantasy list and to throw in a wild card add Michael McDowell or Sam Hornish Jr., both have experience on the Road Courses. Michael whose run for the win last season was dimmed after a horrifying crash with Ryan Newman and After getting turned on the Final Lap at Sonoma this season McDowell wound up 34th but trust me those 2 results don't show how good Michael is on the Road Courses. Sam Hornish Jr, who finished 10th in Sonoma, will be making his first Glen start since 2012. Sunday's race could throw that wild card into the chase and could push some of those who are on the bubble out!
