Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series. Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after a fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event. The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation.

Busch was seeking his first road course win of his Cup career, following numerous near-misses and his Busch Series win the previous day. Busch controlled the race early before being penalized for coming onto pit road when it closed due to an untimely caution. Busch was sent to the rear of the field and the race then got controlled by Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick, who passed Stewart during the final three laps to win the race. It was Harvick's first road course win of his career and the top-ten also ended with some road course ringer present; Robby Gordon finished fourth in his own car and Scott Pruett, a non-regular, finished sixth substituting for David Stremme in Chip Ganassi's No. 40 Dodge. Post-race penalties were handed out in the aftermath of a final-lap incident between Boris Said and Ryan Newman. After Said and Newman tangled in the "inner-loop", several cars made attempts to avoid the collision. Said was penalized for "rough-driving" with his incident with Newman and for skipping the bus-stop, sending him from 6th place to 31st. Ron Fellows, who originally finished 10th, was sent to 32nd after also skipping the bus-stop. Michael Waltrip was sent from 15th place to the last driver one lap down after making avoidable contact with Kyle Busch on the final lap, and then skipping the bus-stop.
