Starting lineup, TV coverage for Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen

Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen has an unusual start time, and an unusual television network carrying the race.

Because of NBC's Olympic coverage, the road-course race will be carried on USA Network instead of NBC or NBCSN. The race is schedule to go green at 2:49 p.m.
