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.

Crash up to 7th, still 12.936 seconds back.

Rocket has caught the leader!

[steveegg]

But does he have the fuel?

Rocket by on the OUTSIDE at 9

50 wrecked, full-course caution!

[steveegg]

And Tyler Walker hard into the guardrail. Walker had a heck of a run in the esses, and he ran over Kobyluck.

[WestCoastGal]

Oh Oh as BP says trouble just walked in, caution. Here comes Crash. Probably not enough laps.

[Jackknife]

I read about that last night. CooCoo's had cancer, and isn't doing good. Prayers up for the Marlin family.

[steveegg]

Ryan Newman
Brian Vickers
Tony Stewart
Jeff Burton
Martin Truex Jr
Robby Gordon
Paul Menard
Joe Nemechek

JJ Yeley

[WestCoastGal]

Thank you for the pics.

Prayers are definitely in order for the Marlin family.

[steveegg]

Thank you for the pics.

Looks like we'll have the green with 4 to go.

Gordons crew chief uses the same bulky Motorola head phones that NFL coaches use. I have often wondered why in this minaturized age those ugly and hugh units are used. Just an observation.

Maybe because the bulky ones can block out sound a lot better.

5 to go; lights still on the pace car (though they haven't turned off until the inner loop).
