Share your thoughts on racing at Watkins Glen International?
The road-course races have been pretty exciting over the past couple of years. Last year's race at Watkins Glen (International) had a pretty exciting finish from what I remember, and it's this type of racing that has really become a part of our sport and helps keep things exciting to watch. - Kevin Harvick
How does Watkins Glen International differ compared to Sonoma Raceway?
There is a lot of speed difference. At Watkins Glen (International) you go from turn one, up through the esses and into the inner loop and end up running about 170-180 miles per hour down the backstretch. At Sonoma (Raceway) you're lucky to get above 100 miles per hour, so speed is definitely the biggest difference. - Kevin Harvick
