ALSO, DON’T MISS THE RETURN OF IROC
An impressive lineup of drivers and cars have been confirmed for the first IROC event in more than 20 years. Scheduled for July 19-20 at Lime Rock Park, the IROC event will enhance an already exciting SpeedTour All-Star Race weekend. Featuring both an on-track racing exhibition and static display, the event will reunite original IROC competitors with cars raced in the legendary series.
Mark Martin, a 96-time winner across NASCAR’s top-three series, 13-time IROC race winner and 5-time IROC series champion, will be one of the drivers piloting the historic IROC cars at Lime Rock Park.

Joining Martin as other former IROC competitors driving in the event will be Greg Biffle, Geoff Brabham (two-time IROC race winner), Davy Jones, Bobby Labonte (three-time IROC race winner and 2001 IROC Series Champion), Max Papis, Ken Schrader and Danny Sullivan (one IROC win). In addition to this impressive list of former IROC drivers, the event will include four-time NASCAR Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday, Grand-Am Sports Car Series and Trans Am Champion Boris Said and 1995 NASCAR Truck Series Champion Mike Skinner.
An equally exciting component of the event at Lime Rock Park will be approximately 20 authentic IROC race cars spanning over 30 years of racing history.
The event will also reunite several of the original racers with their cars, as former IROC winners return. Fans will instantly recognize the lime green No. 14 Dodge Avenger, which won three times with three drivers from three different disciplines: F1’s Martin Brundle, NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Sr., and INDYCAR’s Al Unser Jr. However, it will be the car’s final driver who will get to reunite with it at Lime Rock Park—Mark Martin.
Of course, there will be cars that were driven by not only the best names in motorsport, but also those of Hollywood fame. The School Bus Yellow No. 15 1978 Chevrolet Camaro was driven to victory lane by both Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip, as the two NASCAR Hall of Famers were among 31 drivers who turned laps in the car. However, that count doesn’t include actors Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, James Brolin and Gene Hackman, who enjoyed a private test day in the car at Sonoma Raceway in December 1977.

Teetor SAE Educational Fund. As Ralph Meyer, grandson of Ralph Teetor commented, “Response to this film has been remarkable, because the story is inspirational and seems to resonate with people.”
The upcoming documentary follows the extraordinary journey of Ralph Teetor from childhood blindness through his life of fierce determination and distinctive mental vision to become an inventive, insightful leader, and philanthropist. Ralph Teetor’s life spanned the entire development of the American automobile industry.
Emmy Award winning host and narrator Mike Rowe is providing the narration and Emmy Award winning actor Jeff Daniels is voicing Ralph Teetor, among many other extraordinary actors voicing characters.
This film features renowned trailblazers Lyn St. James, legendary race car driver and 1992 Indy 500 “Rookie of the Year,” Franz von Holzhausen, the visionary Chief Designer at Tesla, Inc., Sarah Cook, the remarkable President of the Automotive Hall of Fame, and the illustrious Leslie Mark Kendall, Chief Historian at the Petersen Automotive Museum.

Opening Day at Watkins Glen with NEQ and Audi Rochester

Sat, April 6th
Join us and drive the track with fellow Audi enthusiasts under controlled conditions behind a pace car. If you are an NEQ track veteran you already know what it’s like to drive the Glen at speed. But what’s it like at street speeds with your family in the car?
The day will begin at Audi Rochester on West Henrietta Road for breakfast courtesy of the dealership. From there we will make our way to The Glen where we will line up and be escorted via pace car for 3 laps of this world-famous race course.
We have added lunch at one of the Finger Lakes oldest wineries this year!

Upon completing the pace laps on the track we will rejoin as a group for a catered lunch at the Ginny Lee Café which is part of Wagner Winery. Wagner is located on Rt 414 on the East side of Seneca Lake north of Watkins Glen.
Enjoy views of the beautiful finger lakes while you have lunch and, perhaps, sample Wagner’s libations. After lunch you may continue along the Seneca and Cayuga Wine Trail to the many local wineries, stop by the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls or return to The Glen for more paced laps on our own.
Tickets for return laps may be purchased online or at the gate. Or relax by spending time exploring the natural wonders or shops in the Watkins Glen area.
Costs for this event are the charitable donation to the R.A.C.E Foundation, lunch at the Ginny Lee Café is $24 for adults, $10 for kids 12 and under. Future Audi owners under 2 years old are free. Choose any or all of these activities. Audi Rochester is graciously providing breakfast at the dealership for all those who want to start out from there
See You At The Glen!
