Final* Watkins Glen Driver Ratings: 2017 I Love New York 355

Martin Truex Jr was considered the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook's 4/1 favorite to win at Watkins Glen.

* Just an FYI, the final equation of the ratings isn't complete because of qualifying happening on race day. The drivers love the extra day off, but I've hated the past two weeks of it; I like the build-up for a race weekend to start on Friday. Qualifying on any road course is of more importance to the final rating equation than any other track with Martinsville being a close third. So these incomplete ratings below are based on both practices, past Watkins Glen history, current form and a little bit of what happened at Sonoma in June.
