The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Go Bowling at The Glen is finally done and dusted. The fifth road course race of the season started at 5:01 pm ET after a one-and-a-half-hour delay due to inclement weather and lasted for 2 hours, 17 minutes, and 52 seconds. It took place at Watkins Glen International, with a total of 39 entries.
Driving the #5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, Kyle Larson secured his second win of the season and second straight win at Watkins Glen International. On Sunday, he grabbed the lead from dominant Chase Elliott in Turn 1 on the final restart with laps to go and managed to hold off AJ Almendinger to the finish to win Go Bowling at The Glen on the 2.45-mile road course.
In a race that was filled with thrilling action, Larson crossed the finish line 0.882 seconds ahead of Allmendinger to earn his second race of the week after Saturday’s Xfinity race.
The win marked the 18th NASCAR Cup Series career victory for the defending Cup Series champions and ended a 22-race winless streak dating back to February 2021 at Auto Club Speedway. Meanwhile, he became the eighth driver to win multiple races in the first 25 races.
Meanwhile, A.J. Allmendinger, who challenged Larson for the win in the closing laps, finished as runner-up, followed by Joey Logano, pole winner Chase Elliott, and Daniel Suárez completed the top five.
