Owner Richard Petty back in the hunt with two-car team - USATODAY.com
My man Ambrose hooked up with Sir Richard. This is the year my Aussie goes all the way. I'll be in the stands february giving the Oy, Oy, Oy chant for those of you not coming over.
That's the spirit.
Heading into the track. Ambrose is #9 now. Working for the King. He's in 35th position but only a teeny bit off the top times.
Oh yea- it's the Daytona 500.
Race starts in a few hours. More updates to follow.
Mint.
Love your support of Ambrose. Great to see an Aussie being followed with such passion over there.

Amen, brother. Amen.
Sunny and warm here at the birthplace of speed. First race of the season. Ambrose will win 3 this year. I have spoken.
I may be wrong on this but I think they've reduced the size of the restrictor plates. Also been tinkering with the spoiler.
Wish he had a spot for the V8's in Sydney last year - kinda felt a bit disgusted how they treated him over that (all the teams plus AVESCO)

I got $20 on Amrose. You can tell I'm rolling in it.
Ambrose cost me a lot of money last year but I'm hanging tough with my Aussie.
You ought see the crowd when I do the Oy-Oy-Oy.
They look at me like I'm crazy.
You need to position yourself next to someone with an Aussie flag or something and start the chant. At least that way there should be two of you!

Made it to the seats. Me and 100,000 other folks.
Someone give me an email and I'll send some picts
PM sent!
Photos sent to Jaw.
I had problems with my phone. No updates. Anyway, Ambrose crashed out around lap 30. He came back out around lap 160. (127 laps down: my Aussie won't quit)
Trevor Baynes, 20 years old, won the whole shebang.
Good racing.
We sat next to 3 Miss Florida beauty pagent contestants. Miss voilsia county, miss Daytona Beach, and miss teen Atlantic beach. They were cute as buttons.
The two car draft was tight- like inches between cars. NASCAR relaxed the bump rules this year.
Pics of the beauty pageant girls!!!!!!

Miss teen Atlantic beach was too young to photograph. Do I look like a pervert?
The car behind #77 is # 9- Ambrose's car. Guy in autographed Ambrose/ dewalt hat is me.
The beauty queens stayed for awhile but the sun was burning their skin so they split.
They were so nice and friendly even my wife liked them.
Some more Daytona bits:
This was the first 500 on the repaved track.
NASCAR went green, using 15% ethanol.
You got to like a country that burns it's food.
