Watkins Glen International

WATKINS GLEN. In the early 20th century, cars raced along the streets of Watkins Glen until this 3½-mile track was built in 1956. Since then, the route has welcomed everyone from Nascar to Formula One, along with a host of regional and sports car competitions. The track at the south end of Seneca Lake is now known especially for its Winston Cup race. Other events at the track include the summertime Finger Lakes Wine Festival and a slate of driving schools.
