This week, Cup and N-Wide visit historic Watkins Glen at the southern tip of Seneca Lake in New York's Finger Lake region. A road course with twisties and right turns. And the ringers come out too - Said and Piquet Jr are joining the regulars at the Glen. 43 entries for the race, so everybody is in and no one goes home. Only 5 races left for drivers to qualify for the Chase - Time is getting short. Standings are below.
Everything kicks off on Friday with practices for both series and qualifying on Saturday morning, both on ESPN2. The Zippo 250 is scheduled to start at 2:15 Saturday , while the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen is at 1:19 on Sunday.
Current Cup standings/seeds;
Tony Stewart lost a spot and The Biff moved from outside to on the bubble, pushing Dillon out.
News
The National Guard is dropping Nascar and Indy Car sponsorship at the end of the season. Raises an interesting question - Hendricks says the NG deal runs through the 2015 season. Who is right, who is wrong? :noidea:
Gibbs is not appealing the penalties to Hamlin and the team for the firewall plates at Indy.
Goodyear is talking about putting air pressure sensors in the Cup car tires. After a rash of tires failing in the last few races and crew chiefs seem to ignore the recommended minimum pressure on a regular basis, Goodyear is looking at saving face and negative publicity.
In Fantasy Live, sam60 got the :first: for Pocono. Overall, 64osby pushed his lead over FlaCowboy to 320 points.
Get your pick changes in and good luck to all!
