Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after J.D. McDuffie's fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event.
The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation.
*Marlin would have to sit the weekend out due to attending his father's funeral. While David Stremme would drive the #40 in pre-race activities, he was eventually switched to Scott Pruett for the race after Pruett did not qualify due to qualifying being cancelled.[2]
Practiceedit
Originally, two practices were scheduled to occur during race weekend. However, rain would cancel Happy Hour, so only one practice would be run.[3]
First and final practiceedit
The first and final practice was held on 1:20 PM EST, and would last one hour and 20 minutes.[3]Tony Stewart of Joe Gibbs Racing would set the fastest time in the session with a lap of 1:12.264 and an average speed of 122.052 miles per hour (196.424 km/h).[4]
Qualifying would occur on Saturday, August 13, at 11:10 AM EST. Drivers would each have two laps to set a fastest lap- whichever lap was fastest would be their official lap time.[3]
However, rain would pour on the track during Anthony Lazzaro's run. After continuous downpour, NASCAR decided to scrap qualifying and make the starting lineup based on the current 2005 owner's points. As a result, Tony Stewart of Joe Gibbs Racing would win the pole.[5]
