Marcos Ambrose USA Bound in 2006

Back-to-back V8 Supercar champion Marcos Ambrose is to pursue racing interests in North America in 2006 and plans to leave the V8 Supercar Championship Series at the end of the current race year...

he'll be back

Didn't Dick Johnson go and race NASCARS in the US for a while, a while back?

Not surprising really. Given his contract committments with Ford Racing, he may not have had much choice in the matter. And lets face it, if he wins again this season, thats 3 in a row, not really much left to prove once you do that. Even if he goes for a season or 3, its not like he won't be able to get a drive with a V8 team again.....And remember how big Nascar is in the USA, he'll do alright.

Plus for a racing car driver he is a relativly young chap, so once he conquers all in NASCAR he can come back and race out his carrer in the V8's, lets just hope he does good and is not stuck with some crappy team like a minardi (F1).

well he came to V8's after racing in some european championship. you can only take so many tri-oval tracks. There arent many decent tracks like Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, and Road America for those guys. Not 100% sure they race on all of them though haha

Nascar drivers are the most highly paid and in general lowly skilled drivers in the world. If Ambrose can't teach those "good ol boys" a thing or two I would be amazed. I remember when they took Nascars to something other than an oval about half the field had to have lessons in heal and toe and threshold braking! But lets face it, sedan drivers are really just rejects from real race cars anyway (the ones that don't have doors). So he is a two time champion in V8 supertaxis who cares?

So he is a two time champion in V8 supertaxis who cares?
