WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) _ NASCAR‘S Truck Series will return to Watkins Glen International next summer for the first time in just over two decades.
The sanctioning body’s schedule announced Thursday that the race will be held Saturday, Aug. 7, and will be part of a doubleheader with the Xfinity Series. The weekend will be capped by the Cup Series race on Sunday.
“We are thrilled,” Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup said in a statement. “Some of the most exciting and iconic finishes in the Truck Series have been on the road courses.
