[crazed 9.6]

Yup, gotta luv Watkins Glen :)
There been racing at Watkins Glen since the late 40s !!!

The original road course is no longer used as a race course but it is used by the public.
Have heard tell that it is a exhilarating ride :)

My Picks:

Kyle Larson
Kyle Busch
Martin Truex, Jr.

Kyle Larson lost his title sponsor, so he might just take it out on the field. I read an article that said that road track ringers have no real advantage anymore.

[crazed 9.6]

Is a good reason to bet on Larson.
We are getting down to only a few races left for the drivers to make the cut :eek:

AJ Allmendinger is a good bet on this road course too, as is Danica is a good bet to make a good showing (maybe top 10) :)
Kyle B is a threat here too., as are some other Road Track ringers.

Will see how the Ringers make out against these Young Guns :)

Gonna go out on a limb,

Jamie McMurray
Paul Menard
Boris Said

Truex did it.....

[crazed 9.6]

Truex was patient all day.. he made that last charge and still saved fuel. what a driver ... cool :)

lots of good driving today, ecept the #2 lost his race on fuel (as did a few):(

Truex is ausome !

A miracle didn't happen for Brad.

Congrats to Martin Truex, Jr, over the charging Matt Kenseth, and Daniel Suarez. Kyle Busch and Suarez get stages as well.

Kenseth needed this badly, but definitely Suarez's best race.
