NASCAR has confirmed its entry lists for this weekend's races at Watkins Glen, with all three series taking to the road course.
The big headline is that Shane van Gisbergen will be pulling triple duty for the first time in his brief NASCAR career, racing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Truck, O'Reilly and Cup Series.
It's not uncommon for the New Zealander to run in the Cup and O'Reilly Series races on a weekend at a road course, but Friday will see him run a Truck Series race for the first time since 2023 at Indianapolis Raceway Park.
The Trackhouse Racing driver is favorite to win his first Cup Series race of the year on Sunday after falling short at COTA in March, although he did win the O'Reilly race that weekend.

Three Cup drivers pulling triple duty at Watkins Glen
Five Cup Series drivers will step into trucks on Friday, including both of Van Gisbergen's Trackhouse team-mates, as well as AJ Allmendinger and last Friday's Truck Series race winner Carson Hocevar.
There are only three Cup drivers on the entry list for the O'Reilly Series race on Saturday – you guessed it, all three Trackhouse drivers, split between Jordan Anderson Racing (Ross Chastain) and JR Motorsports (Van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch).
There will also be two part-time drivers entering their first Cup Series races of the season – Josh Bilicki for Garage 66 and Katherine Legge for Live Fast Motorsports.
