This weekend the NASCAR Nextel Cup & Busch Series are at the road course at Watkins Glen in New York. The Zippo 200 Busch Series race was on Saturday. Generally speaking, pit strategy is very important on a road course. Kurt Busch won the pole.
Kurt Busch-#39 Penske Truck Leasing Dodge led early in the race. Points leader Kevin Harvick-#21 Coast Guard Chevy led and decided to run the race on one pit stop. This didn't work out for Harvick as his car didn't handle very well after his pit stop and he finished seventh. He still leads the points.
The end of the race came down to a duel between Kurt Busch & Robby Gordon-#7 Harrah's Chevy. Jamie McMurray-#64 Top Flite Dodge was third but was overheating. A late race caution set up a green/white/checker finish. Gordon attempted to get by Busch but almost crashed both of them. Busch held on for the win.
