In contrast to the one-make World Championship races in Europe, where the championship experienced a seemingly unstoppable decline, the races in North America enjoyed great popularity. 43 teams with international driver crews took to the track on race Sunday. It was the fourth win of the season for brothers Don and Bill Whittington, who won the race with a four-lap lead over Rolf Stommelen, Dick Barbour and Hollywood actor and amateur racer Paul Newman. Before that, they won the 6 Hours of Riverside, the 24 Hours of Le Mans (with Klaus Ludwig as the third driver) and the 6 Hours of Daytona (with Dennis Shaw). As at Le Mans, Klaus Ludwig was the third driver at Watkins Glen. The race car in all cases was a Porsche 935.
Im Gegensatz zu den Rennen der Marken-Weltmeisterschaft in Europa, wo die Meisterschaft ein scheinbar nicht aufzuhaltendes Siechtum erlebte, erfreuten sich die Rennen in Nordamerika großer Beliebtheit. 43 Teams mit internationalen Fahrerbesatzungen gingen am Rennsonntag ins Rennen. Für die Brüder Don und Bill Whittington, die das Rennen mit vier Runden Vorsprung vor Rolf Stommelen, Dick Barbour sowie dem Hollywood-Schauspieler und Amateurrennfahrer Paul Newman gewannen, war es bereits der vierte Saisonerfolg. Davor siegten sie beim 6-Stunden-Rennen von Riverside, dem 24-Stunden-Rennen von Le Mans (mit Klaus Ludwig als drittem Fahrer) und dem 6-Stunden-Rennen von Daytona (mit Dennis Shaw). Wie in Le Mans war in Watkins Glen Klaus Ludwig der dritte Fahrer. Einsatzfahrzeug war in allen Fällen ein Porsche 935.
