The xfinity race at Watkins Glen is live right now.
They are currently at lap 14 of 82 laps.

Four of the Cup Series driver's are out front !!
Joey Lagono
Brad Keslowski
Kyle Larson
AJ Allmedinger

Kyle B is not racing in this xfinity race today and neither is Harvick.

My favorite Xfinity driver Christopher Bell is currently sitting at 20th spot but just came in to the pits for tires and gas with just a handful of laps to go for Stage 1 !!
Bad Brad Keslowski just caught Lagono, but can he get by him :eek:
Keslowski pitted and Lagono stayed out !!!

Lagono wins Stage 1
These Cup Series drivers do not get points in the Xfinity Series races, but there are Owner points that are awarded regardless who is driving :)

Rain is coming !!
These guys will race in the rain... Add rain tires and windshield wipers and a bit of defog heat for the windshield and they are good to go !!

Allemdinger is one of the best on these road tracks and in the rain too and won Stage 2
Stopped raining again and cars are installing their Slicks back on.

Allemdinger received a pit row penalty and lost a lap :eek:
Brad is in good shape sitting in around 7th place. He already pitted while most others haven't yet, so he should see the lead soon.
Larson is gaining on Brad too.. it may get interesting soon, when he catches Brad :eek:

And with about 20 laps to go, Larson caught Brad and putting the pressure on !!

The guys that were in front of them have or are pitting, so Brad will be in first spot in about a lap, with Larson right behind him and putting on the heat strong and with a better car !!

Both Brad and Kyle will make it to the end with lots of gas, but Kyle's tires have just a few more laps on them then Brad's :eek:
Caution will help Kyle to save his tires ... and that is just what happens with 15 laps to go:)

Brad gets great restart and is CHECKING OUT !!
Lagono comes from 5th and is battling Larson big time !!
Allemdinger is back in the top 10 :)

Lagono is now by Keslowski for first spot.
Larson may have a blown engine, he is heading to pits :(

With 5 laps to go, Brad was on Lagono and would a had em, except he spun with his front bumper was right at Lagono's rear bumper as he got into the turn too deep :eek:

Lagono with hardly a car in his rear view, wins at Watkins Glen !!
AJ Allemdinger takes second, even after serving a one lap penalty late in the race :)

Joey burned it down from that last restart !!
Great race with so many things going on during that race :)
