Watkins Glen, NY

Racing World Insider host Jeff Segal and teammate Emil Assentato have proven victorious at the Crown Royal 200.  Emil drove a great opening stint keeping the #69 FXDD SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 near the front of the field.  When Jeff got into the car he was in prime position to take the car to the front.  "The car was fantastic all weekend-- we were fastest in every practice except one I believe, and when you have a car that good you better win!" added Segal.  Driving the short course at Watkins Glen, Jeff held off a valiant charge from the #87 Farnbacher-Loles Porsche of Dirk Werner and Leh Keen to take the checker.  Jeff and Emil are former winners at Watkins Glen in the Six Hours with driver Nick Longhi, but this is their first victory on the short course.  Congrats to Jeff, Emil, and the whole SpeedSource team for a job well done.
