Cheez-It 355 at the Glen recap

Kahne finished 12 laps down in 42nd place in the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen and dropped to 17th in the series standings, in dire jeopardy of failing to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. It makes up for last week (at Pocono). His return to the Glen after a two-year hiatus is over.

“I made the jump over here and Clint Bowyer is an awesome driver”, Spalding said. “That was pretty terrible last week”. So we’re going to do a whole redo. That’s the only way we’ll go into the Chase.

Oh, I don’t know, maybe a Pocono trophy? New York. I had to go around some cars and our vehicle was just a little too loose, so I couldn’t get everything out of it. “At the end of the day, the results don’t show it, but I feel like we are starting to gain some momentum”. And don’t be surprised if it happens again next week at Michigan, a 2-mile track where NASCAR will experiment with a high-downforce package. We do center specimens and we contemplate them like each other race track.

After spending all day reading Chad le Clos’ taunts from halfway around the world, Michael Phelps beat the South African’s time from the world championships to win the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. national championships in San Antonio.

AJ Allmendinger is one of the drivers who will likely need a win just to get into the Chase.

In the final two corners of the final lap of Sunday’s race at Watkins Glen, Kevin Harvick ran out of fuel, narrowly failing to get 59 laps out of his final tank of gas. Busch’s finish moved him to 30th in the point standings and at this juncture makes him eligible for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

“I think, for me, it’s really more about Homestead”, Gordon says of the season’s climactic race in South Florida. And once the No. 22 (Logano) got there, I had to pick up the pace just a little bit.

The team told Spalding he didn’t have to be at the track this weekend, but he knows that being at the race is something his dad would have likely done. We’ve had really fast cars, but the circumstances have just gotten the best of us.

“It’s no different than a year ago”.

On lap 21, Allmendinger reported his rear tires had burned off, and Harvick, with Truex close behind, passed Allmendinger for the lead.

In the beginning Spalding was working in Spencer’s shop, after a little bit of time that turned into working on his pit crew.

All of them have in recent days come out in favour of expanding the reach of the world’s best stock auto racing series. Gordon is a four-time victor at The Glen, one of racing’s classiest acts, and what a sendoff that would’ve been. – Joey Logano bounced back from an early race mishap to win the wild and woolly Zippo 200 at The Glen, a NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday.

Joey Logano led only one lap of the Cheez It 355 at Watkins Glen, but as the adage goes, he led the only one that mattered. “That was something I’ve been looking forward to”.

The worldwide Motor Racing Research Center at Watkins Glen held its 2015 IMRRC Awards Dinner Thursday evening at the Corning Museum of Glass in which Hornish’s boss, Richard Petty, was presented with the Cameron R.
