The track does not currently host an IndyCar race, but it did as recently as 2017. Each year, the IMSA WeatherTech Championship race at the track, the Sahlen’s SIx Hours at the Glen IMSA WeatherTech Championship, takes place in June, and the Cup Series race, the Go Bowling at the Glen, takes place in August.
Watkins Glen has notably hosted weekends with an IMSA race and a Cup Series race, so they wouldn’t have to make any major adjustments to the track to host all three series in one weekend.

Watkins Glen always draws huge crowds, including sellouts for its NASCAR races. In fact, the track is one of the few that consistently sells out for NASCAR races. It definitely has the space to host a tripleheader with massive amounts of camping space and much more around the track and in the village of Watkins Glen, which is only about a two-minute drive from the venue. How great would it be to see a historic tripleheader weekend at such a historic track?
