Statement Regarding Passing of Cameron R. Argetsinger

"Everyone at Watkins Glen International is deeply saddened by the death of Cameron Argetsinger. His vision and contribution to WGI, motorsports and our community were extraordinary. I am very proud to have gotten to know him and glad that I was able to spend time with both him and his wife Jean during one of their many visits to the track. We are honored that he was able to see the return of open-wheel racing to The Glen and was able to be our grand marshal during the inaugural event in 2005. His legacy will remain at WGI every 4th of July weekend when we present the Cameron R. Argetsinger Trophy to the race winner in his honor. I will truly miss his presence but will remember him with admiration. On behalf of everyone at The Glen, our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Argetsinger family."

- Craig Rust, President of Watkins Glen International
