~Jayski~

I got my fingers crossed that there will be no rain for qualifying. Weather looks good so far.
I'm actually looking forward to watching the N'wide race ....... GO MARCOS!!!!!!!!

Now, now, DeeDee... Marcos is a CUP driver now. That makes him a Busch-wacker or whatever they're calling them...

You're not supposed to like that...

True, but he's only doing this race. I've never had a problem with any Cup driver doing an occasional race.
I just think it's ridiculous when they run most/full season.

Watkins Glen Race WEATHER

Looks like a 60% chance of rain on Sunday < I hope not>

Goodyear has brand new RAIN TIRES ready for the Nationwide Series at Watkins Glen and Montreal.

I'm hoping for rain on Saturday!!

whats holding up practice

I stand corrected.

Goodyear will NOT run rain tires this weekend at Watkins Glen. They have the rain tires available, but they will only be used at Montreal if needed.

Grrrr!!!!!!! Goodyear drops the ball again

I take back what I said. NASCAR made the decision. Mike H explained it on the NW pre-race show.


CONGRATULATIONS MARCOS AMBROSE and TEAM 47!!!!!

Congrats to Marcos and the #47 team!!!

Congrats Marcos!!




Rain is coming - not looking good. No command to fire engines just yet... holding off for the weather.

NASCAR has pulled the plug. Sprint Cup racing from Watkins Glen can be seen tomorrow at 12 noon on ESPN.

NASCAR Raceday on Speed at 11 ET.
