Racing often is thought of as a gritty sport, in which people aren’t afraid to get a little dirt under their fingers. But Watkins Glen International knows no two race fans are exactly alike.

The tents reportedly will be set up before you arrive, and will be located behind Riesbeck Grandstand near Turn 11. The... NESN.com
