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.

Bowyer tops off as we go green, and they claim they're good to go.

Truck race 39/150

Skinner
Reutiman
Benson

Setzer has a tire down. Caution


Lots of dark clouds there. Looks like a big Toyota deal.

[steveegg]

TP now fouling up. The #5 crew thinks he van make it on fuel (the stop drops him to 19th per NBC).

[steveegg]

Lights off on the pace car as they go through the inner loop; there goes Herman.

[WestCoastGal]

Looked like DW hosting all the Toytoa biggies and the drivers. He definitely is "in" with them.

[steveegg]

Either TP is running quick or NBC/MRN are running slow. They just showed the green.

[steveegg]

It is the Toyota Tundra 200

Green flag as we start lap #45.

FastKssey outbrakes Biffle for 2nd.

[WestCoastGal]

Gee Stewart 24th after pitting etc. Oops he just passed Menard

[steveegg]

Smoke makes it 3-wide coming out of the esses, gets by Menard.

[WestCoastGal]

Man that's a mess back there.

[umgud]

They better giterdone before dark, the 27 car of Green looks like he's got a headlight out.
