Watkins Glen "News" and Notes

For the first time in years, they "Heyyyy Jeremayyyyyyyye!" yells will be out of place.

Scott Pruett was the highest-qualifying "road course ringer" at the Glen, starting 13th in tomorrow's race. Good thing they took Stremme out of the car this week--wouldn't want him to get any experience or anything.

Boris Said will also be running this week's race in his #60 car. In response, the New York Meterological Society has issued a Severe 'Fro Warning for the western upstate area.

Kurt Busch won both poles this weekend, and has already won today's Busch Series race. Nice to see that he's really sinking his teeth into that Penske file.

Since ultra-cool race name "Bud at the Glen" was dropped, this race has had several sponsors, including Global Crossing. Apparently Enron and Worldcom had their marketing budgets spend elsewhere.

ODDS:
5:2 During a spinout in the "bus stop" section of the track, Bill Weber will make a horrible Jerome Bettis joke.
6:1 Switching their music selections for this week's and next's, NBC will mistakenly play "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" 5 times.
50:1 Scott Pruett will NOT spin out.
