The Frontstretch: Top Ten Things Drivers are Looking Forward to at Watkins Glen by Mistie Bibbee -- Wednesday August 10, 2005

July 21st - July 25th, 2008

Monday: Get a Bowles-Eye View of the 2008 NASCAR season so far, as Tom Bowles revisits the good, the bad, and the ugly storylines Frontstretch picked back in February to see how things are turning out.

Tuesday: There may be a Yellow Stripe on his pen, but rookie Danny Peters takes an old school trip down Memory Lane to visit the drivers of the past he wishes he had the chance to see in person.

Wednesday: Is your driver a hot commodity free agent, or will he be frozen out in 2009? The Frontstretch Staff rates the top free agents in a special edition of the Power Rankings!

Thursday: Go Beyond the Cockpit with Casey Mears and find out his holdup in firming up plans for 2009 -- despite his success in everything from BMX bikes to Champ Cars to Sprint Cup -- who he really hangs out with, and why people call him the nicest guy in the garage.

Friday: Last week, you saw her picks for the most talented drivers in Sprint Cup. This week, see who Amy Henderson would choose to keep the sponsors happy as Holding A Pretty Wheel takes a look at Cup's most marketable drivers.

Top Ten Things Drivers are Looking Forward to at Watkins Glen

Mistie Bibbee · Wednesday August 10, 2005

Once again, special thanks go out to Brian Boyer for his co-authoring and creative assistance this week!

10. Robby Gordon: Finally at a track where his engine probably won’t be to blame for the DNF… THANKS NBC!

9. Boris Said: He’ll finally get to see the front of the pack – and not as the car that’s about to be lapped.

8. Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Not getting run over by Martin Truex, Jr. after making a quick visit to Mr. Wall.

7. Matt Kenseth: Reportedly Nextel gets great coverage in New York, so maybe he’ll finally get that call from McMurray.

6. Terry Labonte: Finally! No R&D car for him this race!

5. Jason Leffler: Kickin’ back on the front porch with an iced tea and relaxin’ while he watches the race.

4. Kyle Petty: It’s always nice to visit a track that he has actually won at!

3. Scott Wimmer: Finally a chance to be a full minute behind and still be on the lead lap.

2. Michael Waltrip: Hey, if he’s in the car racing, the media can’t be asking if he’s going to be at DEI or not next year… Can they?

1. Mark Martin: He just can’t wait to answer the question burning on everyone’s mind… Are you going to drive the 97 car in 2007?
