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.

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?
