Larry Foyt on Watkins Glen:
"I competed at Watkins Glen once in the Busch Series and I really like
the track. Track position in road course races is crucial, so
qualifying and pit stops will be very important.
"We tested earlier this week and it really went well. I can't wait to
start making some right hand turns!"
