WELCOME EVERYONE

This week we are going to Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York. Please join us for a full weekend of racing.

Watkins Glen International continues a road-racing tradition that dates back to 1948 -- when sports cars competed on the streets of the village at the southern tip of scenic Lake Seneca. The circuit, which at one time hosted the F1 United States Grand Prix, has grown to become one of the most respected facilities in the northeast.

Roush has been known for hiring good-guys. Rubberhead is anything but one.

6 sets of tars for the Busch boys, and there will be pardons (given with 1 to go).

1st lap of 82 in the books, TP otherwise useless (showing FastKasey 1st).

Bowyer and Grissom sharing pit #2; whoever is in the lead will have priority on going down pit road (at least until another team puts their car in the hauler).

Being in that share a pit position is the pits.

Now to commercial.

Seems the start of these races lately have been less than great.

Kind of hard to make a green/yellow start exciting. :-(

3 laps of 82 in. 38 laps until halfway.

Bono says they do have wiper motors and lights in addition to rain tires. I wondered about the wipers/lights.

Rusty complaining about his war wagon. I think I have a pic of what the team brought to Milwaukee somewhere.

What's the record # laps for starting a race under yellow, I wonder?

They broght them down to Mexico, but their stateside rain program was abandoned a couple years back. Guess they didn't want to have to spend any more time south of the border than they had to.

And, the truck race starts in 45 minutes in Nashville. I wonder what the weather is like there?
