From the Cockpit:
Christopher Bell: “Watkins Glen is a fast track. I really enjoy the fast road courses. If there is tire degradation, which we’re expecting there to be, then there will be a huge incentive to not jump the stage to have fresh tires at the start of the next stage. On the same breath, the road courses and having that yellow flag – the stage breaks – it really entices a lot of different strategy calls. I’m sure that might hurt the ability to flip the stages if we have high tire degradation but there are going to be some people that try it if you’re mired at the back. It’s going to come down to a very important Saturday and then the tires. The tires are going to be different this year, so nobody knows what to expect.”
