The IZOD IndyCar series will be back on the famed Watkins Glen circuit this coming week-end and Justin Wilson , last year winner, would very much to have another oerfect day.
In 2009, Justin Wilson led a field-high 49 (of 60) laps, including the final 15, and went on to present Dale Coyne Racing its first IZOD IndyCar Series victory.
“It was just a great day to go out there and be quick,” said Wilson, who will attempt to successfully defend his title in the Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen on July 4. “The car felt great. Everything went right – apart from we couldn’t get a full tank of fuel.
Wilson said he enjoys the 3.4-mile, 11-turn Watkins Glen course that has played host, among others, to Formula 1 mainly because it’s related to courses he competed on in Europe.
He’ll attempt to regain that feeling in the No. 22 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing entry. Wilson had three top 10s, including a pair of runner-up finishes, in the four early season road/street course package and is eighth in the championship standings.
The Glen race weekend kicks off a five-race road/street course swing that will impact the championship order.
