Robert Ryan · 1 Jul 2006, 22:38 (Ref:1645912)

He eventually finishes 3RD!!!!!

From truck series

Quote:

6. Green flag. Crawford edges ahead of Skinner who was laying back, which gives Ambrose the edge to power around the outside. Ambrose leads the first lap, the first Australian to ever lead an NCTS race. Skinner powers underneath off turn four to lead lap two.

...............

Quote:

Lap 117 - Ambrose has a big moment off turn two, doing a great job catching it. East and Crafton join the mix and both of those drives have big wiggles as the air is moving around in heavy traffic.

................

Quote:

Lap 135 - Ambrose passes Peters to move into fifth. Skinner is now ninth with Bodine tenth.

...............
currently on lap 163

Quote:

Lap 163 - Cook leads by two seconds. Reutimann, Starr, Benson and Hornaday are going at it hard for eighth. Skinner looks inside Ambrose for fourth, but Ambrose wants Gaughan for third.

What they are finished already?

If so then good on Ambrose for finishing a very very respectable third

Par tay like its your birthday Go Marcos!!!!!!!

craig1 · 1 Jul 2006, 23:51 (Ref:1645931)

Lead a lap, never dropped below 14th and finished third.

Even an oval regular would be happy with that.

Hopefully this will be the start of some solid top ten spots.

Go Marcos.

Sultan · 2 Jul 2006, 08:01 (Ref:1646039)

Fan-bloody-tastic!!! I'm sure getting a good result will do wonders for him & his team...

**gomick** · 2 Jul 2006, 13:19 (Ref:1646198)

Driver · 2 Jul 2006, 23:07 (Ref:1646877)

Was celebrating this all day yesterday. I wonder what the Americans think of him now?
