About Us

Located in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes, Watkins Glen International—''The Glen''—is one of North America’s most storied motorsports venues. Its legacy began in 1948 on the village’s public streets before moving to a permanent facility in 1956. The track gained global fame by hosting the Formula One United States Grand Prix for twenty years, cementing its reputation as a premier destination for international racing and legendary drivers.

Today, The Glen remains a cornerstone of the American racing calendar. Owned by NASCAR, the facility hosts elite events like the NASCAR Cup Series and the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Renowned for its technical, high-speed layout and vibrant fan culture, Watkins Glen continues to be a world-class landmark where history and speed converge.
