The racing action continues in August, when one of New York State’s largest weekend spectator sporting event returns the 7-10 with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series taking center stage on Sunday in the much-anticipated Centurion Boats at The Glen.

The NASCAR Nationwide Series is back to compete in the Zippo 200 on Saturday and the stars of the Rolex Sports Car Series take to the track on Friday night for the Crown Royal 200. Weekend tickets start at only $80 and are still available.
