Multiple reports, that tragically, Jason Leffler succumbed to his injuries. R.I.P. Another racer gone too soon. Thoughts go out to his wife and young son in this very sad time. Been too many sad events happening in sprintcars the last couple years.

About time, Kelly is a gun road course driver. Surprised he didn't get more drive as a "road course ringer" after his 5th place at Road America three years ago.

So being road racing weekend this weekend at Sonoma, here's the road course ringer lineup and a little background on them. With only 43 turning up everyone will start.


- Paulie Harraka is in Brian Keselowski's 52 mount this weekend. He's had 1 start in Nationwide this year (35th at Fontana), and did half a season of trucks last year without finishing top 15.

- Justin Marks fills in for Dave Blaney in the 7. He's a 32 year old former BMW factory driver and former class winner at the Daytona 24 hour.

- Alex Kennedy is in the 19 car this weekend. He drove in the road courses for Joe Nemechek in Nationwide last year finishing 33rd at Road America, 29th at Watkins Glen and 19th at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

- Boris Said drives the 32, if you don't know who he is then please leave the room right now. If you're game enough to stay he's one of Paul Morris' mates best remembered for shortcutting chicanes at the Gold Coast LEGALLY (apparently), threatening to knock out either Harvick or Biffle at Watkins Glen a couple of years ago, and even won a Daytona pole for the 400 a few years ago.

- Ron Fellows is in the 33, Canadian road course regular. At 53 and with Pops Martin not driving this weekend he's the 2nd oldest driver in the field. Ran 7th here 10 years ago.

- Victor Gonzalez Jr takes the 36 ride. A Puerto Rican, he did the American road courses last year in Nationwide finishing 17th at RA and 16th at WG.

- If you don't know who Jacques Villeneuve is (apart from driving the 51 this weekend) then please for the love of God leave this board for good.

- Tomy Drissi drives the 87 this weekend. A year older than Fellows, he finished 38th here last year having not being cleared to compete in 2011 through lack of miles in a Sprint Cup car. He's also a marketing executive in Hollywood.

He was a MotoGP rider am i right.

He is better in NASCAR's , found it hard in the V8's when he was able to get a seat

Wasn't happy with Ambrose at one stage either...

 

[JUBJUB]

The Tassie duo off to a good start - Ambrose was fastest & 8th fastest in the 2 practice sessions at Sonoma while Owen Kelly was 10th & fastest in the 2 practice sessions at Road America.

Ambrose & Owen Kelly both qualified 2nd for their races.
The Dinger driving Brad K's #22 car won the Nationwide race.Kelly led 8 laps but around lap 22 [50 lap race] disaster struck when he ran out of fuel early into the lap.He pulled off track and the caution came out.A tow-truck pushed him all the way back around the track and he re-fueled and got back on track just before the pace car passed him so he stayed on the lead lap.He re-started 32nd and fought back to finish 4th

 

[NSWCROW]

Not saying anything...

 

[NSWCROW]

7th

Not watching sonoma next year

 

[Ljp86]

Martin Truex Jr won the Sonoma race followed by Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch and Clint Bowyer. Ambrose was 7th and is now 22nd in points, 73 behind Truex Jr who is now 10th.

 

[BomberFan355]

Ambrose start's 5th tomorrow morning, hopefully he can run in the top 10 all day.

 

[JUBJUB]
