The NASCAR Cup Series entered Watkins Glen International coming off one of the longest green-flag runs in recent memory to close out the race at the Indianapolis Road Course. It translated over to Watkins Glen as there was only one caution when Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott ran out of fuel and stalled on the race track.
Outside of Elliott’s caution, not much happened in William Byron’s fifth victory of the season. After a slight overview of the notable moments, here are the NASCAR TV ratings following the Go Bowling at The Glen.

NASCAR earned 2.310 million average views at Watkins Glen on the USA Network last weekend. The event was down 9.9% compared to last year at 2.563 million average viewers on the USA Network.
Watkins Glen marks the second straight weekend that a road course event has dipped in TV viewership compared to the 2022 NASCAR season. The sport will look for a strong weekend at Daytona International Speedway as it represents the regular season finale.
