The NASCAR Xfinity Series is sort of the second-tier race series in the NASCAR world..It's like NASCAR's "minor league" circuit, serving as a proving ground for drivers who hope to move up to NASCAR's top-tier Sprint Cup series. As will be the case with Watkins Glenn, races in the 2 series are often held on consecutive days at a venue. The Watkins Glenn Sprint Cup will be Sunday, Aug. 9, where David Cook will be singing. Xfinity Series races this year have been televised on Fox or NBC Sports Network, but I think NBCSN is doing Watkins Glenn. I'll update on that. The past 2 Xfinity series races televised on NBCSN, from Kentucky on July 10 and from Daytona on July 4, have topped sports viewership on their respective dates, with 1 mil and 1,5 mil viewers I'll do another post about Watkins Glenn, which I think is one of the coolest race venues in the US

As I said earlier, Watkins Glen for years has been one of the premier race sites in the U.S. The US. Grand Prix, part of the international Formula 1 racing series was held there from 1961 to 1980. Here's a clip of the open-wheel Formula 1 cars there in 1967. Some of my fave drivers I had gotten to know of from going to the Indy 500 back then are in it By the early 80's Fprmula 1 cars had become too powerful and dependent on ground effects to safely be raced there. But the track continued to host less intense sport car races and in 1986 became the site for a race in the NASCAR stock car series. Watkins Glen is unusual as a NASCAR site because it ois a road race circuit rather than an oval ; This is the track layout Here'a nice, relatively short, look at what the NASCAR race is like at Watkins Glenn, with the type of stock cars that will be there on Sawyer's SSB day
