Awesome effort by Ambrose. Couple a wall runs, back to 28th and 2 laps down, come back to finish 9th.

An alright race, became pretty predictable by the end tho.
Solid run by Marcos who was very unlucky to bow out early after he had really good pace. He performs quite well at Dover too, so hopefully he can get a result that he deserves.
Looking forward to this week, the Monster Mile usually produces a good quality race!

Ambrose takes maiden pole in Michigan - huge performance!

His hard work since departing Australia is paying off.

Dale Earnhardt wins at Mich. First win for nearly 4 years.

dont think ambroses 'hard work' is paying off. Finished 9th. Yet again, comes up short on an oval track. He will struggle to get a drive next season ... Rumours surfacing that he is being provided with winning cars, yet fails all the time. rumours he will be let go at the end of this season

all the top teams have contracts for a few years, not sure of any top team looking to replace one of their drivers. If he gets a ride next season it will be with the current team.

Arrogant Dale Jnr finally wins a race.....hate that person with a passion!!

hes arrogant, he doesnt look at the interviewer when being interviewed, thinks the world of himself. Hes only the most popular driverr because of his Father Dale Earnhardt Senior. Talks himself up like he is the champion, blames everyone else except his own doing....want more?. When Darryl waltrip interviewed him 2 seasons ago about his performances, he was like i dont get the opportunitys as everyone else!!! WTF??

said that he should own Earnhardt racing teams, and not by the family(which he has not contro anything basically to it)

Never heard him talk himself up. Always good in interviews I've seen. Runs his own team. Being a hypocrite if you hate him because of who his father is.

A 9th at a track where he has struggled in the past was very positive. He definitely didn’t have the car speed of the top guys last weekend in race trim.

Bully, are you Greg Murphy by any chance???

Winning cars each week??? He’s being put in the same cars as the other Roush Fenway guys, who between them have only had 2 wins all year. Ambrose has been unlucky & should’ve had more top 5 & top 10. Running out of fuel at Texas when running 4th, caught up in someone else’s wreck with a strong car at Bristol & the hub problem when he was quick at Charlotte. That & the fact that almost every time he pits his team manages to lose him 4 spots. His team early in the year seemed to be able to make the adjustments required during races to keep him up the top of the field. His results would be very comparable with Edwards this season & he has smashed Almirola.
Can’t see him moving away from RPR at the end of the season.

If you want to look at an under performing driver in a race winning car, I dare say you look at Jeff Gordan :shock: Your mate Earnhardt is smashing him ;)

if i was given the fastest if not near to the fastest car, finishing 9th, 7th,11th would be a dissapointment in my world, and to the crew and teams??? or how is that in your world>?

milky bar kid - are you marcos ambrose by any chance??

under performing driver in Jeff Gordon - wow, you know your NASCAR well ;)Have you not seen the issues for him and his team, more then your mate Marcos Ambrose .....blown engine, transmission fault, pit crew issue, cut down tire (thanks to your bestus buddy earnhardt) plus more. thats unlucky, not under performing
