Radisson Hotel Corning Renews Official Partnership

The Radisson Hotel Corning has renewed their partnership with Watkins Glen International and will continue to serve as the "Official Hotel" of the Watkins Glen Indy Grand Prix and Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen weekend, June 2-4.

The IndyCar Series will make its return to The Glen after a successful inaugural event in 2005. In 2006, this exciting weekend will now kick-off the racing season at the historic road course when stars like IndyCar Series Rookie of The Year Danica Patrick and inaugural race winner Scott Dixon bring the wheel-to-wheel action back to New York State - straight from the Indianapolis 500.

The 25th running of the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen is set for June 3. This will be the first of two stops at The Glen for the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series. The season's opening weekend will feature the extraordinary racing action of the exotic and futuristic Daytona Prototypes (DP). On Sunday, June 4th the future stars of open-wheel racing will also be competing in the Menards Infiniti Pro Series race while Formula One cars of the past will join the track once again, to compete in the Historic Grand Prix.

"We've have been delighted with our relationship with Watkins Glen International over the course of the past several years," said Kristina Schneider, Director of Sales and Marketing for Radisson Hotel Corning. "This relationship has helped us reach race fans, teams and sponsors that are traveling to the area and we are pleased to provide them with a great place to stay during their visit."

The Radisson is located at 125 Denison Parkway in historic downtown Corning, making it a perfect place to stay to enjoy the Finger Lakes region and other unique area attractions.

"We're extremely happy to have Radisson Hotel Corning back as a partner of The Glen," said Craig Rust, president of Watkins Glen International. "They have been a great supporter of the track for many years and we look forward to working with them as we continue to build our June event weekend."

Tickets for the exciting 2006 season at The Glen will go on-sale in January. Renewal orders are being accepted until December 1.
