The NASCAR world is in the Finger Lakes this weekend. WFLR’s Rick Hughey will be at Watkins Glen International all weekend long and he provided us with this preview of the weekend.

Finger Lakes Country WFLR (96.1, 96.9, 101.9 FM and 1570 AM) will broadcast all of the races from WGI this weekend starting with tonight’s ARCA race at 6.
Driver Ross Chastain has already been busy in Watkins Glen. In addition to this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International driving the No. 1 Moose Fraternity Chevrolet, he’ll also be out among the race fans making several appearances.
On Thursday, Ross was in the courtyard at the Schuyler County Office Complex again talking about his “Protect Your Melon” campaign that reminds motorists in making sure they buckle up in both the front and back seats of their cars and drive safely. He will make a similar appear at the Tops Friendly Market in Watkins Glen today at 11.
