Watkins Glen International will be conducting a repaving project after playing host to two NASCAR national series between August 7-9, including an XFINITY Series race and a Sprint Cup Series race. It marks the first time the venue has been repaved since 1998.
The repave will begin with “The Boot” in July and continue after the NASCAR weekend. Work on the track should be completed in advance of the 2016 season.
“This is a significant project for Watkins Glen International, our competitors, fans and track rental customers,” Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup said in a track release. “The repave is a tremendous undertaking and next summer is the right time to begin this historic project and prepare The Glen for the future.”
Further details and project specifics will be announced at a later date.
The Cheez-It 355 at The Glen produced a dramatic finish in 2014, with AJ Allmendinger scoring his first career Sprint Cup win and punching his ticket into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field.
