Jesse Love saved enough fuel and tried his hardest to prevent Connor Zilisch from winning his third consecutive NASCAR O’Reilly Series race at Watkins Glen, but blew the final corner and Zilisch the win. Zilisch had to battle Brent Crews, made contact with Shane van Gisbergen in the pits early in the race and had to charge through the field against those who were running an alternate strategy but still picked up a victory. The Cup Series race is tomorrow with SVG and Michael McDowell on the front row. Hopefully a fun one!
