    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.

    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

    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

    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.
