Round 18 of the series took place at the famous Watkins Glen circuit in New York state. This is the first round held on a road course.
After a lucky finish at Indianapolis I wasn't sure what to expect from this race. The race weekend started brightly enough though when I set the fastest time in practice (1.20.062).
The 2 lap qualifying period went well to as I grabbed pole position (1.21.276).The start of the race went well until I received a black flag penalty for passing under the yellow.
I pitted for fuel under the next yellow along with everyone else.
Starting 2nd at the restart I quickly took the lead and began to slowly eek out an advantage.
I managed to hold to the lead until a yellow caution period ended the race. A first win in a Nascar on a road course!
My fastest lap of the race was 1.28.356 which was slower than my best times in practice and qualifying.
I led 14 of the 39 laps which earned me 10 bonus points.
I was up to 6th in the standings 170 points behind the leader.
