Aww 1 away from making 23XI and FRM sweat.

The Glen is one of my favorites.

Prettiest track on the circuit IMO.

Love to see Legge get at least a top 15. This type of track is definitely in her wheelhouse.

I’ll be there in turn 1. Second trip to the Glen. Surprised my pops with tickets since it’s on his birthday.

One of the two classic road courses on the NASCAR Cup schedule. Also one of the races that I think should be longer.

Despite my dislike for road courses, I do actually enjoy Watkins Glen. I’m looking forward to this one.

I love the landscape, too. I know we have to protect drivers from hitting solid objects like the trees that have killed so many in the past, and I don't want to see any more of those tragedies. So I understand the reasons for Formula 1 having many generic runoff areas and sand pits.

But I still love the colors of Watkins Glen, and in contrast, I find the painted grid at COTA to be an eyesore. I still like COTA overall; I just wish they would at least get some green paint to make it look more natural.

I like an RC that looks like a winding and beautiful, well-kept country road. Those types of roads often make me think about the best lines and apexes to take; they make me want to go fast. Watkins Glen has that look, and I love it.

Barber and portions of Road America give me the same feelings.

Didn't NASCAR change the rules to guarantee them they can start the race?

2 races on Friday.

82 laps fir Xfinity but only 90 for Cup. I'm pretty sure that's the smallest difference between them on the schedule.

My favorite road course in the world! Love this track
