Anyone who was on the fence about the appeal of road course racing leading up to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Watkins Glen International on August 15 must now have surely cold-shouldered the “road courses are boring” side in favor of the side simply known as “wow.”
Early on, the outlook was cloudy as the race, scheduled to be run on Sunday afternoon, was postponed until Monday morning due to wet weather.
In NASCAR, rain dampens more than the ground; it dampens the general spirit of things. Speedways rely heavily on volunteers and temporary workers to keep event weekends running smoothly, but many of those helpers must return to their “real” jobs on Monday. Fans have the same issue; some of them simply can’t stick around for a Monday race. And the teams lose a critical work day which would normally be spent getting ready for the next stop on the schedule.
Marcos Ambrose, driver of the No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion, is coming
off the first win of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career when he won
Monday’s rain-delayed race at Watkins Glen International. Ambrose
talked about the aftermath of that victory as part of NASCAR’s weekly
teleconference this afternoon.

AFTER WHAT HAPPENED IN SONOMA A YEAR AGO? “I was trying hard to
forget about Infineon Raceway, but I have to say winning for the first
time in the Sprint Cup Series is incredible, a huge achievement, and

at Richard Petty Motorsports with the help of Stanley and DeWalt.
It’s been a dream weekend for me and I’ve totally erased my memories
of Sonoma from this moment forward.”
