This is interesting.

 

Well . . . I'd like him to stay in the FMC camp, but wish him the best regardless.

 

Ambrose and the wood 21 would be a geat match and maybe spark some life into this team. I know he is solid Ford guy and very loyal especially to his Ford base in Kiwi Land... Keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't do a Mark martin...

 

Woods needs to start working with Roush if they want better results. It worked for Yates.

 

Yeah. Mark Martin just signed a 2 year deal with Hendricks.... so dissapointed..

 

He'll be my favorite Chevy driver in 2009.

 

Nationwide Series racer Marcos Ambrose will become a full-time Sprint Cup driver next season, thanks to a new partnership former NBA player Brad Daugherty has with JTG Racing. Daugherty, now a NASCAR analyst for ESPN, has become a part-owner of JTG Racing. The team will be renamed JTG Daugherty Racing. It will continue to field two Nationwide Series entries, but add a full-time Sprint Cup entry next year with Ambrose at the wheel. "I have a tremendous passion for racing," Daugherty said Tuesday. "This gives me another avenue to be involved in the sport. It's a big stake to do this at the Cup level, and I hope it opens doors in the sport for other minorities and women." Little Debbie snack cakes will sponsor the car, which will use #47.(ESPN.com)(7-16-2008)

Ambrose to debut #47 team at Indy: Little Debbie, Marcos Ambrose and JTG/Daugherty Racing hope to get a jump-start on their future during this week’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard when the new team makes its Sprint Cup Series debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The team, which plans a full-time schedule next year, will make four selected appearances this year, kicking off with one of the biggest races of the stock car season. JTG Racing currently fields a pair of Nationwide Series cars with Ambrose and Kelly Bires as drivers. The team’s expansion into the Sprint Cup Series this year includes the use of the #47 Ford Fusion. “We’ve planned for this for years,” said team co-owner Tad Geschickter. “It’s every racer’s dream to compete at the highest level. This is our first step and we’re proud to take it with Little Debbie and Marcos. We have done a lot of testing leading up to this first race, and will use this weekend as our first benchmark versus the competition. We will leave this weekend with a clearer view on the things we need to work on as we prepare to run full time next season.”(JTG Racing PR)(7-25-2008)

 

Ambrose qualified 24th for tomorrow's race.

 

I think Marcos performed well. Top 25 finish (22nd) and finished the race.

 

They said it was the biggest payday of his career on his web site...

 

I hope we'll see him more often in Sprint.
