Tony Stewart has tough day, stays upbeat
But with repaving already having taken place in the Boot, smoothing the bumps in that portion of the track, NASCAR is considering running the full Grand Prix Course, which now is used for the Tudor United Sports vehicle Championship.
AJ Allmendinger knows all too well what’s at stake on the road course at Watkins Glen worldwide.
Joseph Shelton – Kyle Busch – Busch is a two-time victor at the Glen, plus with the way he’s running, a road course sweep is not out of the question, especially when you consider that he did it once before in 2008. “We lost the race last week the same way, so it makes up for it to get it this week”. Busch simply needs a solid finish to continue his remarkable comeback. His unbelievable rally against stiff odds began in earnest at Sonoma in June – he won in just his fifth race back, and on a road course, no less, and has moved to within 13 points of 30th place in the points, the cutoff for the Chase.
Kyle Busch, who has had nine top-10 finishes in 11 starts at The Glen, finished second on Sunday. But I feel our gear is best, our communication… But what a special race vehicle I had yesterday, such a fast race auto, and we were able to drive up through the field and just have a really good vehicle.
While Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, will host the NASCAR XFINITY Series on August 29, the Osthoff Resort located in this village served as host of several major announcements made by IMSA Saturday night, including introducing WeatherTech as the new entitlement sponsor of its top series, as well as 10-year partnership extensions with TUDOR Watch USA and Rolex Watch USA.
Logano wins Xfinity race: WATKINS GLEN, New York.
That gave JTG Daugherty Racing its first spot in the Chase, and a year later the same scenario presents itself – win and they’re in again. That’s what he appeared capable of last season, when he put together one of his strongest seasons in at least a decade.
As Kevin Harvick ran out of fuel in turn seven of the final lap, Joey Logano blasted by for the lead and the win in the Cheez-It 355 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Watkins Glen worldwide on Sunday.
“I really have one speed, and it’s just go… and it’s really hard for me to check up”, Logano said. He beat the best in Marcos Ambrose in a fender-slamming victory last year for his first triumph in 213 career Cup starts. So hopefully we can run good at Michigan and maybe get a win there.
But if it was, the few fans who waited him out at the garage gate secured his last autographs, telling him, “Thanks for all the years Jeff”. After Sunday’s Cheez-It 355 at Watkins Glen, Menard finds himself 11th-place in the Sprint Cup point standings, comfortably in Chase contention. That was the same auto that he drove to victory here a year ago and the same vehicle he’ll race today. On his first pit stop, Logano exited the pits with his gas can attached, triggering a penalty.
“I thought we had a shot at it, but I don’t know that I expected it”, Gordon said. Only problem: Gordon has led just five laps in the last three months. There’s a lot of great drivers. Hornish Jr. has much experience at The Glen in many different types of cars and series. He dropped from 10th in the driver standings to 12th, two spots and just eight points above Bowyer. I believe this is our winningest track in the whole history of our company going back to the Trans-Am and Can-Am, so this is particularly meaningful for us.. We’ve all stuck together as a team.
Gordon sits 10th in points and in a comfortable position with five races to go before the Chase.
