Proper circuit time. Race live on Sky Sports 4 at 8:30pm Sunday.

Adam Carroll has joined the ranks and Paul Tracy is subbing for Mike Conway. EJ Viso was unable to run a qualifying lap due to this big crash in practice. Runs wide, tries to rejoin over the grass, rear suspension fails, front end goes up and he can't steer.

IRL is Indycar, can't be bothered to give it it's full length sponsor branded name as the title field isn't long enough wink

Izod Indycar Racing Series, which is governed by the Indy Racing League (IRL).

Watkins Glen is similar to the old GPL 67 track but the start finish straight is on the short straight before the last corner of the old track (which had been modified there) plus the Indycars are running on the extended Watkins Glen used for GPs in the 70s and more recently for sports car racing.
