Can Marcos Ambrose find redemption from the blunder that cost him the race in Sonoma earlier this year?
Watkins Glen: Stewart And Ambrose Lead The Pack, But Check Out Hamlin
According to NASCAR’s driver rating, there’s a pretty good chance. Ambrose ranks second among all drivers at Watkins Glen International, behind only last year’s winner Tony Stewart.
Jimmie Johnson ranks third despite never having won at the Glen, and Kyle Busch (who swept the road courses in 2008) is fourth.
Among the surprises: Denny Hamlin is ranked higher than Juan Pablo Montoya, and Carl Edwards is ahead of both Robby Gordon and Jeff Gordon.
