Ambrose caught in crash again

Marcos Ambrose has had a potentially strong finish evaporate in a second after the Australian was caught up in a massive accident in the Aaron’s 312 at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama today.

With 47 laps remaining Ambrose was running in 17th position in the #59 Kingsford Hickory Ford Fusion. Ambrose was running in the main pack and on the lead lap while conserving his Ford for the finish.

“There’s nothing you can do in that situation and sometimes these things happen,� said Ambrose.

“We were running to plan, just hanging out there in the lead pack and getting ready to make a run at the front.

“I took the conservative approach like a lot of others. It was all running pretty smoothly but once the wreck started there was no stopping it.

“We got it back out there and moved up a little, salvaging something out of nothing I guess. I’ve definitely got the thank the crew for that because we are trying to score all the points we can get.

“There’s nothing you can do about it. We’ll just put this behind us and look to run well at Richmond next week. We’re certainly not the only ones that got caught up in it – Talladega looked like a parking lot after the dust settled!�
