The Watkins Glen 200 will mark Herbst’s 98th career Xfinity Series start and his second at Watkins Glen.
In total, Herbst has 14 top-fives and 48 top-10s dating back to his first career Xfinity Series start on June 17, 2018, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, where he finished an impressive sixth as a 19-year-old. In fact, he has already matched his season-best tally of five top-five finishes, set in 2021. Two-thirds of the way through his third fulltime season, he has equaled or bettered his best finishes at nine tracks on the schedule.
Herbst finished sixth in his last road-course race July 30 on the infield layout inside Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), expects to maintain his front-running ways despite the break. After a rare off-weekend, the NASCAR Xfinity Series is back in action this Saturday at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.
