Watkins Glen Takes Out Drivers Again...

This time, it was a precursor of the Sunday race...
It all happened on Saturday...

It took only 24 laps in the Nationwide race to get everyone red-flagged for 30 minutes.

Jason Leffler's 38 car started it... he was too wide on a turn and clipped Colin Braun when he was trying to get back on course...

"I'll take the blame because I got wide," Leffler said. "I was trying to ease back over and got hit in the right front. If you don't give, you cause a multicar wreck. I'll take the blame, but you've got to let somebody back in. It's early in the race to get wiped out like that."

Ten cars were involved- and the rear of Tony Raines' 34 car was on top the hood of Braun's car and also on Justin Allgaier's front end. Kevin Harvick, on his in-car radio, said it looked like a bunch of Legos.

He was right...

Here's the wreck and a history lesson from the guys in the booth...

Oh, Marcos Ambrose won the race... his third straight Nationwide at the Glen.
