I experienced a tremendous amount of success with the #66 Brewco team in Mexico, and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to drive the #32 Braun Racing car at Watkins Glen. I hope to be able to capture another pole position and to lead laps, but this time I really want to win the race. I know that Braun Racing has a very good road course car prepared for me and the team did well in Mexico finishing fourth, so hopefully we will have a very successful weekend that ends in victory lane.�?? Jorge Goeters’ thoughts about Watkins Glen International: “I am very excited to be back in the #32 Braun Racing car for the race at Watkins Glen. I learned so much about the car when I drove it a few weeks ago at Pikes Peak. Every chance that I have to make laps in a Busch car allows me to gain the experience that I need to get faster. These cars are very different from the stock cars that I drive in Mexico, so I am learning all the time. Brewco Motorsports allowed me the opportunity to test with them a few weeks ago at Watkins Glen, and I have been asked to compete in the Grand Am race on Friday before the Busch Series event, so I will be very familiar with the track before the race. The Braun Racing team has been great to work with and I think that together we will be a threat to win this weekend.�??
