Watkins Glen "News" and Notes

--Watkins Glen always brings a large group of drivers who do not compete in every race to the track, chief among them Robby Gordon.

--This race was formerly known as the "Bud at the Glen". This name always sounded best coming out of Steven Segal, when he would set the location for a fight. Obsoive:
Thug: Hey man, I'll fight you anywhere man
Steve-o: Lets make it the Bud...AT THE GLEN

--Several drivers have signed "future contracts" with teams for 2007 and on. To make things simpler, Brian France is considering scraping the entire 2006 season.

--Robert Yates Racing honors his sponsors this week with a "half and half" Busch car, which will feature UPS on one side of the car, and M&M's on the other. Its life imitating diecast!

--And lastly, Tom Hubert.
