“Watkins Glen is one of the most amazing tracks on earth,” said Drissi. “I can’t wait to get back there where I have so many great memories. I can’t thank the team and all the specialists for all their hard work and I’d like to thank Lucas Oil, Mav TV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods Chevrolet Camaro for being a part of all of this.”
