Natural Hat-Trick

Roush Fenway earned three-consecutive victories at the famed New York road course from 1993-1995 with former driver Martin. Martin, who won the pole for each of the three races, led a combined 183 laps during the three year streak.

In 195 NSCS starts on road courses, Roush Fenway has earned five victories, 37 top-fives, 74 top-10s and six pole positions. Former driver Martin has recorded four of these victories (three-Watkins Glen, one-Sonoma) and former driver Carl Edwards earned a victory in 2014 at Sonoma.

No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn

Roush Fenway has earned one win, seven top-fives and 14 top-10s in 34 starts in the NASCAR XFINITY Series at the Glen. Roush Fenway’s lone victory came with former driver Edwards in 2012.

The First of Three

Watkins Glen marks the first of three road course races for the NASCAR XFINITY Series. In 92 overall starts, Roush Fenway has recorded four wins, 16 top-fives and 34 top-10s, with Chris Buescher earning the organization’s most recent road course victory at Mid-Ohio in 2014.

Double Duty for Bayne

Roush Fenway driver Trevor Bayne will be racing in both the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NSCS events for the first time since the conclusion of the 2014 season this weekend at Watkins Glen. Bayne will be piloting both the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion and the No. 60 AdvoCare Ford Mustang at the 2.450-Mile road course.

Cheez-It Weekend

This weekend, along with being the title sponsor of Sunday afternoon’s NSCS Cheez-It 355 at the Glen, Cheez-It will be the primary sponsor for Wallace and the No. 6 Ford Mustang in the XFINITY Series and Greg Biffle and the No. 16 Ford Fusion in the NSCS.
