I hope everyone realizes how big of a star Marcus was here in the USA. Not just because of his talent, but his personality as well. One of my favs. Hope he's doing well
Just outta curiosity mate, was he truly respected in the nascar field? or was he a foreigner who just got a break regardless of his work ethic?
Richard Pettty ,Wood brothers definitely saw something , that alone speaks volumes.
Ha, that race race robbie took him out, Watkins glen, i was screaming at the TV bout 5.30am beforei had to work.😂. Few laps to go......🤬
Was great. Nascar was awesome with him in it.
@@s.roberts3839 He was definitely well respected in the NASCAR community, and he was a huge fan favorite.
@@adamkievit2427 cool mate. You'd have never known that here. Was tricky to catch races with the time difference & work getting in the way.
Glad he got the accolades he deserved 👍🇦🇺🍻
@@s.roberts3839I was always super impressed by his talent, he was super fun to watch run laps Watkins Glen.... and the fact he did it all in 2nd tier equipment, made it even more impressive. If he was in top equipment I'm sure he'd have a few more wins
@@fivespeed42 spewing he's not there this weekend mate.
He retired in the first year of NASCAR'S win and your in era. And with the push for road courses in recent years i often find myself wondering how well Ambrose and Robby Gordon would have done in todays nascar. JPM too. All three were fun to watch
The US fans have loved Ambrose since day 1
Yes we have!!!!
Marcus Ambrose was a beast!!
It was a big loss for NASCAR when he left…
Loved watching him in nascar over the years. I miss those days. He really did make us proud. We need another Aussie in nascar!!!
I hope SVG is the next Ambrose. Love the Kiwis racing in nascar!
I miss Ambrose, loved watching him race
He is a good man, i seen him race in Dover, Richmond, & New Hampshire
We love him here in the States when he race Nascar Xfinity and Cup races.
I always enjoyed Marcos, he was an animal on road courses.
Thank you so much.
Have a nice weekend
He was a gun on the Nascar Road courses.
Thank you, Amelia
Welcome to the big leagues 😊
He's ours now 😂
You can have him
@@bentonedwards7056angry Holden fan? 😂
@@ashdog236 yeh must be🤣
The good days
SVG hold my beer
There is no doubt that NASCAR is the toughest Motorsport competition in the world
I love this like Australia busted open NASCAR for all foreigners you know any different nationalities race NASCAR come on man
there have been many drivers of different nationalities in Nascar . and ambrose was not the first Aussie to drive in Nascar , their have been a few , Dick Johnson did a couple pf nascar races many years ago .
Cool, watchimg this now that Tabitha is racing.
Marcas went over there and showed those Yanks how to turn right...
Maybe SVG could come over to nascar
Doubt he'd ever run full time, but he's running the street course in Chicago this weekend
Homestead Miami Speedway
This show is about a decade late on this story.
Was he driving a rental car around his home track? That SUV had New Jersey plates.
Do guy cubvo
Robby Gordon is hilarious. Marcus who? lol. MA was a nice guy, but it's funny hearing Aussies pretend like he was some amazing Nascar driver when he couldn't win on a round track to save his life.
NASCAR is nothing compared to WRC,maybe he should try that.😊
oh bull fucking shit
Naration said it is the fastest sport on 4 wheels....wrong, F1 is faster.
And drag car's are even faster!

Taught me about the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted, vegamite.
🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm Australian and dont eat it the horrible shit bloke
*Vegemite. Really hot toast with melted butter & nicely spread Vegemite can't be beaten. Then Vegemite & cheese under the griller. Put it on your toast then top it with scrambled eggs & bacon. 😋
@@SuperRoo_22 Gday mate, fancy seeing you here.. LOL.. hope you are well.. GO FORD !!!!!!!
Didn't he win one race
