Five-time Watkins Glen winner Marcos Ambrose will do double duty
this weekend at the famed New York road course. With support from STANLEY,
Richard Petty Motorsports will enter Ambrose in the No. 09 STANLEY Racing Ford
in Saturday's Nationwide Series Zippo 200. Ambrose is a three-time winner of
the event, winning consecutive races from 2008-2010. Ambrose will then compete
in his familiar No. 9 STANLEY Racing Ford on Sunday, looking for his third
Sprint Cup Series win at the track.
Veteran engineer Scott McDougall will serve as crew chief for
Ambrose in Saturday's Nationwide event. The STANLEY Racing Sprint Cup pit crew
will also pull double duty with Ambrose and service the Nationwide Series car
on Saturday.
"I love going to Watkins Glen and competing there,"
Ambrose said. "I am really thankful to STANLEY for allowing me the
opportunity to race in the Nationwide Series and giving me another opportunity
to win there. We have had a good record in this race and at this track. I'd
love to win again. It will also give me and my pit crew more time on the track
as we hope to sweep the weekend."
Ambrose has four Nationwide Series starts at Watkins Glen and has
collected two wins in six Sprint Cup Series races there.
