The KONI Challenge Series event for Watkins Glen International has over 80+ entires.  Over 45+ of those entries are in the Street Tuner class that the #43 Team Sahlen Mazda RX8 will be competing within during the weekend.

 "Watkins Glen is the home track for Sahlen's, so we are extra excited to put on a good show for the local fans.  The twisty nature of this circuit should assist us in competing with the Turbo and Supercharged competitors in our class." - states Will Nonnamaker

"I was used to the wet conditions from the GT ROLEX race the day before.  We survived the race with hardly a scratch on the Mazda.  In the end 17^th was a nice finish, although we were hoping for much more." - states Will Nonnamaker

"I love getting to drive at Watkins Glen.  I have been coming to this event for so many years.  We have already been here once this year in the ROLEX GT class Team Sahlen Corvettes.  So there will be that advantage of already racing around this track recently." - states Joe Sahlen

The KONI race starts at 4:40 pm on Saturday, just after Indy Car Qualifying ends.  The race will conclude at 7:10 pm
