The NASCAR race at Watkins Glen is set to take place Sunday afternoon, and there will lot of attention on the race. Unfortunately most of the attention will be for a tragic reason, as people to tune in to watch what goes on with driver Tony Stewart following the accident last night on a dirt track that resulted in the death of a young driver.
Tony Stewart starts in thirteenth, and some pegged him as a contender to win the race, albeit before the events that transpired last night.
“Tony can win at Watkins Glen,” Jeff Hammond of FoxSports.com said. “He has the record to prove it. The problem is Tony has a guy from Australia (Ambrose) standing in his way who might keep him from winning this weekend. While this might be Marcos’ last shot at making the Chase, the cool thing about Tony Stewart is he can win anywhere anytime. So, unlike Marcos, Tony is going to have a few more opportunities after this weekend. ”
