The Centurion Boats at the Glen, Watkins Glen

by Bruce Simmons, the Fan Reporter

Jeff Gordon and Denny Hamlin led the field to the line for today's Cup race, the Centurion Boats at the Glen, at Watkins Glen.

Everyone at some point was not immune to issues in the corners as many drivers found themselves in the gravel and facing the wrong way at times.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s motor let go late in the race.

With 18 to go on a restart, Martin Truex jr. tapped out Montoya in turn 1, and Montoya collected Harvick into the sand and a wrecking yard ensued from that.

As the 42 and 29 cars came to rest, Harvick and Montoya got out and came together to “chat”, Montoya started grabbing at Harvick’s helmet and shoving his head back as they “chatted”.

Later, a reporter asked what they were talking about and Harvick responded that he was “talking about kicking his ass” and some other commentary about Montoya always hitting someone every week.

With 2 to go, Jeff Gordon leading the way, he wheel hops off of turn 1, giving the lead to Tony Stewart. On the last lap, the runner up, Carl Edwards flew off the course on turn 10 while trying to chase down Tony Stewart, to no avail.

After spinning in mid race spin, Tony Stewart works his way to the win, followed by Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Ron Fellows and Robby Gordon. Carl Edwards gets himself into eighth, Jeff Gordon ninth.
