hes come to play, for sure, the roadcourse style racing is what he would seem to have lots of experiance in doing, he has done several forms of racing its stated, including sprints, that said lets see how he does season long, hope he dont make too big a fool out of all the usual drivers, people already say us drivers aren't as good as europe or other parts of the world, though I saw with my own eyes each form of racing has its own skills case and point at bc 39 in 2022 they put an indycar driver in a midget and let him turn laps around the 1/4 mile dirt track on turn three of the brickyard, he had difficulty as it was not his usual wheelhouse, but was a good sport about it and eventually got a bit of the hang of sliding and throttling on the slick dirt

@@ethanweeter2732No, there is, but there is normally a minimum amount of fuel that has been calculated as needed, and that’s the minimum amount you are required to put in the car, and since putting more fuel in costs more time, they won’t. Supercars (Bathurst aside) normally only have one or two stops, so much less opportunity to refuel and spread the additional fuel time cost over. We also often run sprint races, which are done without pit stops and so less fuel in the car at the start means a lighter & faster car.

Ambrose never won on an oval though and if you can't do in NASCAR, you can't win a championship. He needs to have more of Tony Stewart like turn around from Indycar. Tony is the only driver in the "modern" era that's had any real success after changing series. I hope he does well, but it's gonna be super tough in the Cup series outside of the road/street courses.

In making the transition from an Australian form of Motorsports to the United States. No one is saying he isn't a New Zealander. For those with a reading disability.
