On Sunday August 8th, Watkins Glen race track will host the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
Of all the NASCAR Sprint Cup tracks, though, Watkins Glen is probably the harshest on brakes (9.5). Unlike Martinsville, Richmond or even Sonoma, the Glen has long straights that produce high entry speeds followed by sharp turns…that’s where Brembo comes in.
You can better understand what makes the Glen the most difficult NASCAR track by viewing the Brembo Brake Facts animation.
Kevin Harvick currently leads the “Race for the Chase” in his Richard Childress Racing #29 Shell/Pennzoil Chevrolet, but last year’s winner at the Glen, Tony Stewart, looks to repeat in his #14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet.
Only five races left before The Chase begins!
Starting from Friday afternoon before every race you can view the Brembo brake facts.
