8.25.16 - Cuomo Announces IndyCar Grand Prix Labor Day Weekend and Commits to WGI through 2018
Earlier today, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced IndyCar will return to Watkins Glen International for the IndyCar Grand Prix. New York State’s support of The Glen was critical in securing an additional two-year agreement, bringing IndyCar back to the Finger Lakes in 2017 and 2018. Through the iconic I LOVE NEW YORK campaign, the state will commit $100,000 per year which will support The Glen’s promotion of the world-renowned IndyCar Grand Prix and invite tens of thousands of race fans from across New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Canada, to upstate New York. Visitors who purchase a ticket to the 2016 New York State Fair will receive $5 off entry to the IndyCar Grand Prix. The race will take place this Labor Day Weekend from September 1 – 4, 2016.
