Watkins Glen RACE thread

Your idea of bitching, and my idea of bitching must be way different. In my eyes he was just explaining how the car was handling. Now if he was all pissed off about it, then I would call that bitching.;)

I suspect that is the case :)
 
We're lucky they interviewed anybody. The race was 30 minutes past the scheduled stop time with the red flag and all the cautions.

Then they go right to Sportscenter where they spend the first 15 minutes highlighting the race.
 
AARP is just fine. Suits the guy to the tee. Old and losing his edge.

Max Papis:

@maxpapis
Felt bad for @MarcosAmbrose he Just Parked it in T3 and could not avoid him , he had something broken on bottom left of the car before that
 
If Tony wasn't out he may have won at Watkins Glen, or at least have a good finish. Can't give Newman credit for making the chase and Stewart not when Smoke is out for 6 weeks.
 
ESPN Glen ratings: 2.7 this year vs 2.8 last year. … 4.2 million people watched (300k less people than last year). Stewart fans?
