“Thanks to everyone who took a turn at the wheel and kept voting, day after day, to support Watkins Glen International as the best NASCAR track in America. It’s a well-deserved national honor for track officials and staff, drivers and crews, most of all, the fans who help make ‘The Glen’ one of the renowned venues in all of sports and an absolute anchor of the culture and economy of our Finger Lakes and Southern Tier regions.
