somebody could get hurt before this is all over... so Jr is out but Gordon is still in... even Ecclestone wouldn't let this pass for racingThe Cheez-It 355 at The Glen will return on Aug. 7, 2016. The Sprint Cup race has run consecutively at WGI since 1986. Next summer’s race weekend will also feature the return of NASCAR’s second-tier XFINITY Series with the Zippo 200 set for Aug 6.
“We are excited to announce our 2016 race weekend dates in conjunction with NASCAR,” Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup said in a statement. “The Glen always seems to produce great racing as The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup approaches, and we expect our newly repaved track surface to continue the trend in 2016.”
In front of one of the event’s largest crowds in August, Joey Logano propelled past an out-of-gas Kevin Harvick in a last-corner pass to complete the Team Penske driver’s historic weekend sweep of NASCAR’s top two divisions.
Printup said in August they had effectively sold out its 38,900 grandstand seats for the first time this year. He was not at liberty to give out exact attendance totals because Watkins Glen is owned by publicly held International Speedway Corporation but said a crowd in excess of 95,000 attended the event.
The popularity of the Sprint Cup event was reflected in a June USA Today poll, in which readers voted Watkins Glen their favorite NASCAR track.
NASCAR also announced its full 2016 Sprint Cup schedule along with the five-year race guarantees for all 23 of its participating tracks. The move to longer race guarantees was made to grant its tracks some stability and signaled a shift from NASCAR’s previous policy of granting only year-to-year contracts.
“Among the goals that we set out to accomplish with our track partners was to provide consistency for race fans and the industry stakeholders,” Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer told nascar.com. “The stability of five-year agreements positions us well to deliver fans with schedules as early as possible over the next several years. This is a new approach for our industry, and one that benefits everyone: fans, tracks, teams, drivers, OEMs, media and partners.”
The release of the NASCAR date is perhaps the final piece in the puzzle for The Glen’s 2016 race season.
In August, IMSA announced the 2016 Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen will take place on July 3. The race for the newly-named WeatherTech SportsCar Championship was moved back one week to accommodate IMSA teams returning from the the 24-Hours of Le Mans on June 18-19.
Last week, the Sports Car Club of America announced its U.S. Majors Tour event at Watkins Glen would move off of the Independence Day weekend to June 24-26 for 2016.
Earlier this month, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association also announced the Glenora Wine Cellars U.S. Vintage Grand Prix would return to its traditional date and run Sept. 8-11. The event was moved up to July this year because of the $12 million paving project, which closed the facilities 3.4-mile circuit shortly after the August NASCAR race weekend.
The paving is part of $35 million in capital improvements made by ISC at Watkins Glen over the last 10 years. That investment has been paying off with a Sprint Cup event that has showed remarkable growth at a time when most NASCAR events have remained flat after dropping in attendance from loftier days before the 2008 recession.
WGI said it would announce ticket sales for the 2016 season soon. Renewal information has been sent to 2015 ticket holders.
