MOVING ON UP
A technical alliance announced Wednesday between JTG-Daugherty Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing and Toyota Racing Development will put driver Marcos Ambrose behind the wheel of a Toyota in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series next year.
JTG-Daugherty -- owned by Tad and Jodi Geschickter and ESPN broadcaster Brad Daugherty -- has focused its efforts on the Nationwide Series, but the team will field the No. 47 Toyota for Ambrose full-time in the Cup Series next year. The alliance with MWR helps make possible the step up in class.
Under the agreement, JTG-Daugherty will operate its Cup team from Waltrip's 140,000-square foot race shop in Cornelius, N.C. MWR will furnish chassis for Ambrose, along with engineering, mechanical and other technical support. JTG-Daugherty will get its engines from TRD.

His other win also comes in a Nationwide race at Orange County, a three-eighths of a mile track. His wins come in his first 42 Nationwide races. He makes the last of his 256 Nationwide starts in 2004.
100.0: Percentage of Cup races at Talladega Superspeedway that Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin have been racing at the finish. Harvick (15 starts) and Hamlin (five) are the only Chase drivers who do not have a DNF in Cup races at Talladega.
