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.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

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
