Best thing about this: Post race Brad walked up to the 9 crew and shook every crew members hand. Saying how great of a race it was and how he respects Marcus for not just dumping him and having a great race.
Well, he's well experienced with heavy long-wheelbase v8 race cars. I hope to see more Australian racers come to Nascar because it makes for great road course racing.
@@rydoggo You Americans would absolutely love to see our Shane van Gisbergen or Scott McLaughlin race your cars at Watkins Glen. Those two alone, without disrespect, would absolutely demolish any current NASCAR driver on that track. Respectfully. You guys would love them both. They got highlight reels for days. Scottys up there in America now. Racing Indycar now. Watch his onboard from last weekend. Absolutely wicked masters of road course racing
@@lesblase3667 well Marcus Ambrose didn’t even “demolish” and nascar driver on this track. We had two f1 drivers and Jordan Taylor race in our last road race, they finished 18,24, and 29. Nascar drivers are beating them at their own racing 😭😭
2003 at Darlington was the best finish in NASCAR history....until this. I used to sleep thorough the majority of road course races in the years prior to this. I’m very glad I didn’t miss this live though. My driver wasn’t even in the mix and this is the most edge of my seat excited I can ever remember being watching a final lap. It was a real treat to be a NASCAR fan on this day.
Josef Stalin Kyle didint have a problem. All 3 were slipping in oil from the 47 who blew up with 2 to go. So if Kyle came up or came down. Brad Wouldive slid intok him anyways. Nobody's fault there
I was there that day, for his first win. The weather the day before was horrible, my kid was supposed to work that Monday and I wouldn't take him home. Three hour drive and a different country. Such a special thing to witness and our seats were right along the start finish line. My photos from that day are much cherished.
I'm convinced neither driver held a straight line for that entire last lap. So badass, insane hp, shot tires and full commitment. Both drivers raced hard, but clean. That was the best finish of a cup race to date in my opinion.
With Shane Van Ginsbergen winning Chicago and now in tomorrow's race at Indy, I'm here reliving some classic Ambrose. Shane reminds me a lot of Marcos, and I'm lookin forward to him coming to nascar. I just wish Ambrose had more of a chance to drive in top equipment, I think he'd have a few more wins
Every time someone asks me why I like Nascar I come back to this finish. Yeah it sucks my boy the 18 got spun, but MAH GAWD what a finish. Its impressive on ovals, but even more impressive when these guys get up on the wheel like that on a road course.
Agile glorified tanks on quick road courses is nascar's wheelhouse outside of short tracks. Glad they've finally got the memo with next season. Can't wait
THIS is why NASCAR road racing is some of the best road racing on the planet - low downforce, big heavy cars, mediocre brakes, tall hard(compared to real road racing ones) tires, doesn't get much more fun than that
Marcus was Def one of the top road course drivers don't see much banging like that anymore 😒 just hearing him slide the car with complete throttle control high hp shot tires
The reason why everyone was driving so bad on the last lap was because there was Oil on the track, I forgot who it was who was leaking fluid but there was oil on the track
) Besides being a great stearer Maybe the only driver in the field who has perfect heal and toe method down shifting under brakes wile just about everybody else was left foot braking a habit developed in oval racing. All v8 supercar drivers are master's at heal and toe..
F1/ FIA would have dq'd them both for avoidable contact. Thats why i cant watch european style racing. Same awesome finnish with 2 3 guys giving all they got hanging it way out thare. To quote the band triumph they lay it on the line. Over hear every one chears over thare its all angry faces and fines and penalties.
GatoradeCupSeriesX94 NBC hasn't shut the fuck up about it because the BIG 3 are too good right now with no one stopping them or winning at all, stop getting pissed off because 3 guys are at their prime for this season. Be mad at the drivers who aren't stepping up, not the drivers that already have & that are proving themselves
jeffgordonfan2462 like honestly. He's talking about the big 3 but my comment is not about the big 3. You can tell that the races are boring this year. There's just too little downforce to make a pass in a green flag run
