Sunday's Sprint Cup road course race at Watkins Glen was going along quite smoothly until a big crash took out nine cars running in the middle of the field. In that crash, Bobby Labonte likely took the hardest direct hit as he plowed into the nose of a spinning David Gilliland .

Ever Tried to Do Your Job Backward?

The Glen and Infineon always present unique challenges to the drivers because all of a sudden they need to turn left and right.

Lap 83 Brings Watkins Glen Demolition Derby — FanHouse
A huge wreck coming off of Turn 11 at Watkins Glen International Raceway put the Sprint Cup Series' Centurion Boats at the Glen under the red flag with just eight laps to go Sunday. Nine cars were involved in the big crash that saw David Gililland and Bobby Labonte take some of the hardest hits the NASCAR world has seen at a road course in a long time. Labonte walked away from his car but ...
Michael McDowell Needs Bigger Shoulders — NASCAR Ranting and Raving
Michael McDowell needs to accept responsibility for his actions that led to a 9 car pile up which sent Bobby Labonte to hospital. All that McDowell has done is said that it was just a result of "hard racing" with Gilliland and offered up the excuse that he is racing for his job out there trying to stay in the top 35 in points. McDowell eventually went on to finish 25th in the race, but is ...
Tradin Paint – Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson as Marcos Ambrose wins Nationwide and third in Cup at The Glen. — RaceDriven.com
Once a year, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the Cup Series comes together to complete in a doubleheader weekend on the road course at the famous Watkins Glen International.

Live on Type Delay: The new Roadmaster — Rev' Jim's RantsnRaves
First some apologies. I said that Jimmie Johnson was in the lead when he ran out of fuel during the final laps of the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen. That was not a live on type delay report, and I was trying to write from memory,. which isn't that good these days. Jeff Burton was in the lead, and never gave it up until he, too, ran out of fuel. Now on to today's race. There is nothing like seeing ...

Nationwide Series puts on good show from Watkins Glen — Rev' Jim's RantsnRaves
It's been mentioned at Rev'Jim's RantsnRaves before, but these Nationwide Series races can be a lot of fun to watch. Saturday's Zippo 200 race at Watkins Glen was no exception, but it was exceptional. Watkins Glen, as configured for NASCAR races, is less technical than the road courses at Sonoma, Mexico City, and Montreal. There are more passing points and the track is considered "racier" ...

Don't count out Kyle Busch at Watkins Glen — NASCAR - Sports Rumors - Yahoo! Sports

Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart , both winless this season so far, have each won four times at the 2.45-mile road course in upstate New York. Last year's race was Stewart's most recent victory. Busch's average finish at Watkins Glen International is a lackluster 16.3. But Busch won the ...
