Bring it on I say. Good luck to the guy, he seems to have the talent, so why not give him a chance.
It's nice to see new blood coming to NASCAR, especially from over seas. All we need now is to get a few Brits in the mix.

Which bit, the part they shared on #10 about the Ford Racing people in the US reckoning Marcos is ready for Nextel Cup, or the noise doing the rounds where the driver and his team are not happy together for some reason?

There are billboards in Australia emblazoned with Marcos Ambrose's face. Television cameras can't get enough of his bubbly personality; fans can't get enough of his flashy style. And now, Wood Brothers/JTG Racing hope to transform all of that into a successful NASCAR career.

"I don't know if this sport is ready for Marcos Ambrose," said Eddie Wood, co-owner of Ambrose's Ford F150 in Saturday's Kroger 250 at the Martinsville Speedway. "He's something else. He's the biggest racing star the country's has known. We believe he's going to be all of that, if not more, here in America."

Ambrose will make his NASCAR debut this Saturday. NASCAR wanted him to skip the first three races until they were convinced his success in Australia would translate to its brand of racing.

marcus · 28 Mar 2006, 07:54 (Ref:1563086)

I have moved and merged these threads.

Its all here folks , marcos Ambrose is no longer a V8 supercar driver , so unless he is returning to V8's then his career and racing exploits should be discussed in this forum

Good luck to him this weekend I wish him well

billybanana · 28 Mar 2006, 07:57 (Ref:1563087)

"Television cameras can't get enough of his bubbly personality"

Now I know they are lying. You gotta wonder who writes this stuff...have they even met the man ?

and niether is Peter Brock but you still let him be talked about in the Australian site. come on some of us are interested in how a 2 time V8 Supercar champion can go in the big smoke. And he is still an Australian

Thats because whatever PB still competes in is Aussie motorsport related. Ambrose has dedicated himself totally to NASCAR, so that gets main priority

chavez · 29 Mar 2006, 09:57 (Ref:1564039)

Marcos will have to qualify for Martinsville, but provided he does so and the #20 Ford can stay in the top 30 in owners points (it is currently in position #140 from the Gateway race onwards he will be guaranteed a start.

marcus · 30 Mar 2006, 00:24 (Ref:1564657)

Im interested in how Ambrose goes as well , Im not a huge fan of his but I certainly will be watching to see how he goes in the US.

this website has a set of rules and we MUST follow them , there is nothing at all from stopping you coming into the Nascar forum and finding out how he went or discussing what he did during a race meeting.

If Peter brock took up Nascar or Formula one then we would move all relevant threads to those forums because it is current talk.
If marcos retired like Peter Brock "allegedly has

" then that would be fine to still discuss him in the aussie forum , but Marcos has started a new path for himself so all relevant converstaions about him will be koved to this forum from now on (unless he returns for the enduro's and then thats fine to be talked about in the aussie forum)

Its pretty simple really when you think about it

mac · 30 Mar 2006, 01:33 (Ref:1564706)

I must admit, I never thought I would see the words Marcos, Ambrose and flamboyant in the same sentence .....
