Ambrose wins in Sprint Cup

[Xfactor1979]

Happy Bathurst Day

All you Keith Bogans out there!

Casey Mears will remember him

It's Watkins Glen weekend, the only track Ambrose has any success at.

Ambrose wins at Watkins Glen in the Nationwide series.

Hopefully he can pull off a double with a win in the Sprint Cup.

Ambrose will likely have one less competitor to race against -

That could have easily been avoided, what the hell were both drivers thinking

 

[Lynoman]

I have seen the video on youtube, there is no way that Stewart didn't steer towards him.

 

[Parra]

Stewart might have been trying to avoid him. Wait and see what comes out, it was a horrible incident. Why should any driver have to avoid someone on the track? Just stinks that a bloke dies in this situation.

He is on the front row.

Missed it by a bee's dick. Great drive by AJ though

Funny how Ambrose is usually around 15th - 20th, but when they go to a track where you have to turn right every now and then he's right up there...

That's more of a reflection on Ambrose than anyone else.

There are quite a few drivers with plenty of oval course wins that have challenged and beaten Ambrose at Sonoma and Watkins Glen. Ambrose has only managed to pull off one road course victory in his entire Sprint Cup career.

Ambrose is a road course specialist that can't quite figure out how oval racing works enough to be even an occasional podium finisher.

 

[Jimbo]

For sure

Ambrose is obviously way better on road courses than ovals, but there are a few others with road racing experience too

It probably helps that a V8 Supercar is much closer to NASCAR than open wheeler racing

Murph >>>>>> Ambrose

 

[Parra]

He's coming home http://www.news.com.au/sport/motors...r-to-return-home/story-fne8930l-1227057864693

just another backmarker for Whincup to pass

 

[Jimbo]

Those eight years went pretty quickly...

If any of the rest of them had any balls they'd have taken their shot like Ambrose did. If he bothers to come back to aussie touring cars at all he will be a man racing against boys.

It has been officially announced he is coming back to drive for DJR.

DJR Team Penske.

Doesn't Penske dominate Nascar?

 

[Parra]

Is it official that Penske are buying DJR? Big boost for aussie racing if they do.

Doesn't Penske dominate Nascar?

They dominate IndyCar, but NASCAR has been wide open this year
