NASCAR Watkins Glen live updates: How to watch Sunday's Cup Series playoff race

The NASCAR Cup Series embarks on its second playoff of the 2024 season on Sunday with a road-course race at Watkins Glen International.

Joey Logano won an eventful playoff opener at Atlanta Motor Speedway last weekend and became the first driver to clinch a berth in the second round. Atlanta’s playoff opener shuffled the playoff standings, with Team Penske drivers surging, and Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson, who entered the playoffs with the points lead, suffering a big drop after an early crash.

With a shift from pack-racing at Atlanta to a road course race, the standings could see another major shuffle before next week’s elimination race at Bristol Motor Speedway, which will see four drivers eliminated from championship contention.
