It sounds like Marcos did well in practice.

He will be the 20th car to come out for Qualifying.

Congrats Marcos.
Change of tyres by NASCAR and Goodyear
Will make the race interesting but let's have a touch of luck.
Alarm already set!

Onya Ambrose
Thank goodness Speed USA didn't go to an ad during his qualifying,as they have a habit of doing.

Fabulous effort Marcos ... more please.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Now lets hope he can back it up with a win.

 

[NSWCROW]

Pouring there.

Very funny Marcos sent the hosts some Vegemite sandwiches

 

[JUBJUB]

Holy Batman......Dale Jr won a race
Ambrose finished 9th

Here is the funny interview with Ambrose providing Vegemite sangas for the commentators

Well if Marcos doesn't win, I don't mind Jr winning.
He was the best car in the end and would have been tragic if he didn't go on with it.
Good job by Marcos and the Stanley/Dewalt team, 3 top tens, a pole and the road course coming up.
Lets keep it going.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Marcos had a good race but not the result he was after.

 

[Kwality]

Pole & top 10 finishes, a win on the ovals cant be far away, I hope.

Oh crap,the dangerous duo are back for the road race this week.......Brian "Crash" Vickers is driving Mark Martins #55 MWR car and Robby Gordon is racing [well attempting too]
Jacques "Demolition Man" Villenueve is driving Brad Keselowskis #22 car in the Nationwide race at Road America on sunday morning.I wonder how many cars he'll take out this year.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

It wil turn in to demolition derby

 

[NSWCROW]

Geez Michigan really hurts if you think , lets say Marcos DOES win Sonoma and Watkins , still only gives him 2 wins..if only he'd jagged Michigan.
Obviously i want Marcos to win both road courses but if he could only win 1 i hope it's this weekend.
Last years race was depressing as ****...

Not to mention Mr Said, who was a tiny bit instrumental in the the WG prang last year.
The show following the race was just as good as well.

Marcos Ambrose is on pole for monday mornings race at Sonoma

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

2 poles in a row

Gordon 2nd

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Marco Pole...o?

 

[one 4 the road]

Oh dodgy that is gold. LMAO.
Fantastic effort again by the whole crew.
Best pit box, track position is important.
Let's get out in front from the start and bring home the bacon.

 

[JUBJUB]

Nelson Piquet Jr won the Road America Nationwide race.
Jacques did what Jacques does - punted drivers.On the last lap he punted Danica from 3rd or 4th spot and she ended up 12th.

BTW what's the go with Jacques shaved head ?
Some people look okay with shaved noggins [i.e Chappy] but Jacques does not.

 

[NSWCROW]

Stay classy Jacques

Well Marcos busted his arse for nothing.
Finished 7th...i think.
Most dissapointed i've ever been watching him.

8th and moves up to 16th in points
The car Bowyer won in was the same car Ambrose should've won in in 2010,but he couldn't get it re-started while saving fuel.
