Garage Report: Raceday — Watkins Glen International — Go Bowling at The Glen
SVG on the pole at 123.937 mph — first pole of the season, fifth career. Zilisch qualifies fifth, fastest rookie on the grid. Chase Elliott's car went to the grid late after a cracked brake rotor was replaced before the start — it's not a grid penalty, but it's a concern at a track that punishes lockups.
