Ford Racing: Marcos Ambrose Preview



Ford racing teams and drivers for the NASCAR Nextel Cup series are quite unlucky these past races. In the recent race in Pocono, no driver made it into the podium or even in the top 10 slot. Too bad for Ford Racing drivers in Nextel Cup.

Anyway, let us first forget about the NASCAR Nextel Cup series, shall we? Let us take some time to visit the NASCAR Busch series this time.
Marcos Ambrose, the driver of the No. 59 Kingsford Ford Fusion now prepares for the upcoming race at Watkins Glen International in New York.

Here is what Marcos Ambrose has to say about the upcoming race.

“I think Watkins Glen is exciting. It’s a historic road-racing track. It’s got a lot of energy to it. It will be great to turn up there and have a great race. I like racing new tracks; it’s a hobby of mine to keep a tally of all the tracks that I’ve raced around the world and this is adding another one to my list. It’s a handling race track; there are a lot of fast corners there and I’m looking forward to it.”

“Qualifying will be somewhat a factor, but this will be about race strategy and staying out of trouble. We qualified well and stayed out of trouble for most of the day in Montreal, it does help, but it’s not everything. We’ve got a good strategy going into this weekend. You’ve got to look after your gear and save your equipment for the last 30 laps of the race.”

Well, let us just wait for the race and see if Ford drivers can perform a lot better in the NASCAR Busch Series.
