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 by Smoke; too far back to catch Vickers/Rocket.

[steveegg]

Crash tries the outside against Vickers in 8 for 2nd, but Rocket runs away.

[steveegg]

It's Rocket, Crash, Vickers, Smoke, Truex, Burton, Nemechek, Menard, Goeters, Yeley.

Smoke and McVickers bouncing off each other.

[glock rocks]

What the hell is up with Vickers??

[WestCoastGal]

Man that was a fabulous race by Crash as well as Rocketman!! who won!!

[NormsRevenge]

What was with the love nudgin' at the end.. wow

[steveegg]

Rocket won't be doing a burnout; he's out of gas.

[WestCoastGal]

Oh darn, I wanted to hear what Smoke had to say about him and McVickers.

[WestCoastGal]

Are you here for the Cup race tomorrow?

[AGreatPer]

That ended up being a good finish. Notice how the announcers downplayed that Vickers hug at the end. good comments by all. Keeps me informed. Thanks.

Now, bring on the big boys with rain tires tomorrow.

[steveegg]

Yep.

The local NBC affiliate is leading off with the chemical weapons factory in Iraq story.

[glock rocks]

There's still laps left on Speed in the truck race....

[Pete-R-Bilt]

but then that means XP. yuk.

lemme guess 3.1 or 95?

[steveegg]

We're about to repeat the 3-lap shootout at Nashville.

You missed a good Anthem; the NY Guard 199th Army Band did a nice combo instruments/voice back about 2:30 Eastern.

[steveegg]

Skinner gets a good restart; Reutiman trying to make up ground.

[steveegg]

2 to go in the trucks - Skinner, Ruetiman, Lester

[steveegg]

Skinner and Reutiman trade paint in 3/4, Reutiman to the lead, white flag.

[glock rocks]

Ruetiman is in a area code of his own!
