Ron Fellows is back in the Tide Ride for PPI Motorsports at Watkins Glen International. Car owner Cal Wells agreed to sign the road course specialist to drive for PPIM at the two Cup road course events shortly after last year’s Watkins Glen race concluded.

Last season, Fellows drove the Tide Ride for PPI Motorsports in both road course events. He started 43rd and finished 8th at Infineon Raceway (the best result of the year for PPI). And at Watkins Glen International, he started 37th (lined up on owner points due to rain) and finished 25th after a mechanical issue ended the driver’s top-10 run.

He will be attempting to start in his ninth NASCAR Nextel Cup race at the 2.45-mile road course.

Ron Fellows on racing at Watkins Glen International:

“I am going to run both the Busch and Cup races this weekend to get as much seat time as possible. On the Busch side, I am running for Mr. Harvick in the No. 33 Busch car and I am really looking forward to it. With what little time I have had to drive these types of race cars, I really see it as an awesome opportunity. I see it as an advantage for me to be in these cars as much as I can during the course of a weekend. I think running the Busch race will help the Tide team.”
