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.

Holy grill batman the 8 caved it in!!

[steveegg]

Truex runs Kvapil up into the freshly-paved runoff out of 1 to take 5th.

[WestCoastGal]

Menard continuing with his good runs right behind Truex

[steveegg]

Is there enough time for Crash to come all the way back? He's up to 16th with 26 to go, 11.660 seconds back.

[steveegg]

That boy knows how to run road courses; that's for sure.

[umgud]

Crash is smokin toward the front, 25th to 14th pretty darn quick.

[WestCoastGal]

I say no on Crash and great job for Menard.

Rocket and Stewart have a good chance to pull this off.

[steveegg]

Smoke makes it a 4-car Buschwhacker breakaway out front; Northurn Burton, McVickers, Rocket and Smoke.

Last time by, Crash was 13th, 11.543 seconds back, with the fastest lap (last few laps, Smoke had been fastest).

[WestCoastGal]

The two in front of him Gowters and McMary are trying to crash

[WestCoastGal]

That would be Goeters

[steveegg]

Crash up to 12th; 22 to go. He's now 12.035 seconds back as Smoke again turns the fastest lap.

[steveegg]

Another lap, another spot for Crash; he's up to 11th.

Walker spins in 1, but we still are green.

I am glad they got rid of the kitty litter there.

If we get a caution it could be a better finish

[steveegg]

19 to go; Crash up to 9th but 14.176 seconds back.

[steveegg]

Smoke now slowing as is his teammate Wally (Wally stuck in gear; headed to the pits).

[steveegg]

Northurn Burton and Vickers allegedly don't have to worry about fuel, but Rocket does. No word on why Smoke is slow.

[WestCoastGal]

Come on Rocket, let's make this a race!!

Maybe caution??

[steveegg]

Ashton Lewis slow, but he'll make it to the pits.

Vickers by Burton for the lead.

[steveegg]

Brent Sherman the latest to spin in 1. He gets it going, but he almost got nailed from behind.

15 to go. Crash up to 8th, but 12.873 seconds back.
