Background
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 J. D. McDuffie's 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 NASCAR.

Qualifying
Qualifying was scheduled to be held on Saturday, August 12, after numerous rain delays had delayed the session. However, rain would persist throughout Saturday, and thus, would cancel qualifying. In the case that qualifying is canceled, the first 35 spots are taken by the teams in the top 35 in owner's points. Then, the 36th spot is given to a champion who is not already in the field. Finally, positions 37-43 are based on the qualifying order that NASCAR had originally slated the drivers to go in, in the case that NASCAR was to run qualifying. Out of the drivers who did not lock themselves in by points or a champion's provisional, the first seven in the order of those drivers would qualify for the race.
Bobby Labonte of Joe Gibbs Racing would win the pole, having the highest number of owner's points.Poole David August 12, 2000 Points put some fast cars in back - or out http://www.thatsracin.com/00/0813/0813glenadv.htm dead https://web.archive.org/web/20001018200017/http://www.thatsracin.com/00/0813/0813glenadv.htm October 18, 2000 May 17, 2022 ThatsRacin The Charlotte Observer
