Through this point in his NASCAR career, Marcos Ambrose has proven to be a bit of a one-trick pony. He is fantastic on road courses where he has two wins at Watkins Glen. He should also have a win at Sonoma but forgot the laws of physics and NASCAR, and cut his car off while trying to coast up hill. His “failure to maintain track position” cost him what would have been a sure win.

The recent tragedy at Pocono Raceway that involved the death of a race fan that was struck by lightning has sparked a great deal of conversation. I will not indulge in Monday morning quarterbacking but would rather look ahead and make sure that NASCAR and the tracks have an effective plan in place to lessen the likelihood that these events are ever repeated.
