Its a pity all the races aren't on decent tracks as opposed to those boring Ovals, he'd probably dominate then!

Been a good week for Ford being announced the only Australian car maker to get 5 star safety rating and having Marcus do so well in the Ford Fusion in the US!

Those boring ovals are what it's all about. This is stock car racing at its best, love it.

His first win!! Woohoo. Watkins Glen is not an easy circuit either.

Based on perception, I don't like the guy. But good on him for making the most of limited oportunity and getting reward for taking a risk. Perhaps others might see the cheques he's getting and try their luck. Perhaps other teams over there might see how he's doing and consider our V8 comp a possible untapped pool of talent.

Im not sure many, if any, of our other drivers could make it over there. Marcus is a very single-minded, driven person, who was never going to give-up until he made an impact.

Unbelievably, he is the top Ford driver over there. The Ford's are going cr@p this season - Toyota are braining them. He may end up driving a General Motors car next year, and to be honest, he will probably have to get out of the Ford if we wants to make it at the very top level.
