Next up is a trip to Watkins Glen International for "The Finger Lakes 355 At The Glen" on Sunday, August 12th.
This is the 22nd race of the 36 race 2012 season.
Qualifying is set for SATURDAY, August 11th. Please make your picks before qualifying is scheduled to begin.
Watkins Glen International is a 7-turns with banking track with a lap distance of 2.46 miles. We'll see 90 laps of exciting racing and fuel strategy for a total race distance of 221 miles.
#14 T Stewart has the most wins here since 1975
by taking 5 trips to Victory Lane.
Other history:
In 8/11, #1 Kyle Busch had pole honors in a race domiated by #9 M Ambrose.
In 8/10, #99 started out first but gave way to race winner #42 J P Montoya.
In 8/09, #48 J Johnson sat on the pole and #14 T Stewart took home the checkered flag.
In 8/08, #18 Kyle Busch went wire to wire for the win.
Ready to pick? Can you overcome tat fuel stategy that seems to come up at the Glen?
I'm ready. My Watkins Glen picks are:
T Stewart <~~~ Knows this place well...has a good history...smart driver...
J Johnson <~~ Despite a 14th place showing at Pocono...I'm not giving up on him...
JR!! <~~~ So...he didn't do so well at pocono...but...he's done well pretty much everywhere else..I look for him to bounce back this week...
J Gordon <~~~ When luck is on your side...plus....He often finishes well here...
Kyle Busch <~~~ Time's a-wasting if he's going to make the chase...he does as poorly here as he did last week...uh oh...
My spare will be Juan Pablo Mntoya <~~~ My penance for not typing his complete name above...
