In retrospect, not getting his first career NASCAR Busch series victory proved providential for Marcos Ambrose.
Nearly two weeks ago, during the inaugural Busch road-course race at Montreal, Ambrose was well on his way to victory. Then Robby Gordon hit him from behind on the second turn of the 14-turn course, setting off a chain of events that led to Kevin Harvick claiming victory.

MA: “Well, I guess it’s all about the brakes. You’ve just got to keep the brakes underneath you. It’s a great track. It’s real exciting with the walls nice and close. It gets your attention pretty much every stop. The car is not stopping that well and the brakes are fading. You keep thinking that you’ll turn it into this corner and make it stick, then there is a concrete wall looking at you. It’s really tricky out there today. The track is slick but in good condition.
“I’m really excited. We had a terrible package at Mexico and we got a brand new car. The first time we hit the race track was this morning. We’re really happy with it and excited for tomorrow. I’ve got to think that I squealed like a stuffed pig after Mexico trying to get them to build a car straight for me. They did that and now I’m comfortable behind the wheel and I’m ready to push it. ”
