For the first time this season the NASCAR Sprint Cup series will be turning left and right as the series heads to Sonoma for Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350, the first road course race of the year.
One driver has been competitive almost everywhere this season and Sunday Marcos Ambrose could be poised to go all the way to victory lane. Ambrose won last year’s race at Watkins Glen and was fifth here last season. With the way Ambrose has been running this season he is the favorite to add another road course win to his resume this Sunday.
The three time Australian Super Car champion is constantly a force to be reckoned on the road courses and is always expected to shine. For Ambrose though the pressure to perform is the same on ovals and road courses. MORE>>>
