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.

Boogity-Boogity-Boogity!

GO TEAM DEI!!!

[steveegg]

We've got 55 laps, some seepage still just past the inner loop. Reach up there and pull them belts tight one more tine...

BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!!!!

[steveegg]

Crash gets REAL aggressive, smokes the brakes in 1, but gets past FastKasey.

[steveegg]

Crash by Smoke in the carousel. Smoke pitting. Crash collects 5 bonus points.

[WestCoastGal]

Great pit stratergery from Smoke.

My connection is sllooooowww, so bear with me.

[steveegg]

Add Contreras, Dallenbach, Wolfe, Kvapil, McMurray, Nemechek, Labonte, Keller, Fellows, Yeley, Barrett, LaJoie and Walker to those pitting behind Smoke. Smoke stalled it, but got it going (it helps that pit road is on a downhill). Boris Said and Ashton Lewis pit last time by.

[WestCoastGal]

Sauter penalized in pits for being over the line.

[steveegg]

Truex now taking on gas, gives up 3rd.

[AGreatPer]

Hey, your in Texas now. Why wern't you there in Crawford today with the other Freepers?

[steveegg]

Contreras loses it in the carousel, doesn't collect anybody and we stay green.

I would like to have been there.

I hope they had a good turnout.

[fideist]

A little Jeapordy!

"Give me NASCAR for $500, Alex."

Answer: "The existence of Ringers."
Question: "What is proof that Road Courses don't belong on the Nascar circuit?"

Ding, Ding.
"That is correct for $500."
Applause, applause.

[steveegg]

More short-pitting; FastKasey, Rocket, Biffle (with 2 tires), among others.

Crash pitting, gives the lead to Menard.

[steveegg]

And that would be the Quaker State Q on Menard's hood.

Drivers yet to pit - Menard, Vickers, Edwards, Pruett, Hamlin, Goeters, Burton, Wallace, DJ, Sherman, Stremme, Compton, Wood, Green and Bowyer.

Gordon starts the list fo people who pitted in 16th.

[steveegg]

Vickers by Menard for the lead and 5 bonus points.

[WestCoastGal]

It's interesting when they have a driver in the booth.

Kevin is describing the race from their view.

Oh darn Fellows smoking

[steveegg]

Fellows smoking Siriusly; caution #2. If they do give anybody a lap back, it will be Grissom (dunno if Fellows fell a lap down before the caution).

[WestCoastGal]

NBC has got to have the worst shows starting this Fall, that what's his name Earl the white trash guy and now Tommy Lee goes to college. Sheesh
