Ambrose Helped Out by Craig Gore
Slightly OT but it seems Team Australia are sponsoring our ex V8 star in the truck series.

If Mr Gore's reputation is anything to go by Ambrose will be back home in Australia before Christmas for unperfoming......

Craig Gore.

The more logical move to me... may be to place Mr Ambrose in one of the Team Australia ChampCars... Race wins would be possible by season's end

The Charlotte thing is amazing given the background in the last few days...
Mr Ambrose was not automatically cleared by NASCAR to race at Charlotte... and indeed it was reported that the driver was not totally confident he would get a start. Presumably the Thursday test was the clincher for convincing them that he was good to go... No mention of qualifying times anywhere... the P1 placing was 12th eventually, and P2 in 22nd... |

from the web -
7. Lap 5 - Ambrose was pushed into the outside line and he lost grip, slamming into the turn four wall. Sprague spun to avoid. Sprague drove away but the right rear tire blew going into one and he spun again, doing some damage to the right rear quarter panel. |

Team Australia’s Marcos Ambrose has finished 26th in the eighth round of the NACSAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware today.
Ambrose again highlighted his potential in qualifying setting the fastest Rookie lap of 23.701 seconds, which was the 12th fastest time overalljust in front of Mark Martin. , Unfortunately, an unapproved adjustment during the impound period saw him drop to the rear of the grid. Ambrose overcame the hurdle of starting at the back of the grid, completing 196 laps and bringing his Team Australia/Aussie Vineyards Ford F-150 truck home in one piece. “Learning, learning, learning, that’s what this is all about,” said Ambrose. |
