Are Tad and Jodi from NC? I really only started pulling for Marcos cause I like Tad, Jodi, and Brad. Its great to see a small team doing so well. @TN – That’s pretty cool you work with those guys.

And so we now have a genuinely positive man coming across the pond in search of greater challenges -- and he's loving it. Like it or not, NASCAR at the cup level is the absolute eiptome of the big leagues when it comes to motor sports, and that's what the man is chasing. In July, I drove from VA to ME to run a river for a week. Just south of Portland, I saw my first 47 sticker. Yeah, I'm being a fanboy here, too. If you hate Ambrose, you probably need your meds adjusted. Hey, the U.S. has never had a problem with Australia.

Most really good drivers probably learn about 90% of what they're ever going to learn. in a couple of seasons. It may take a career to learn the last 10%. I see the really successful ones, moving through the Classes, rather quickly. When Big Al, was guiding Little Al's career, he put him in Sprint Cars, on dirt. To "teach him how to race". Once he learned, it was time to move on. Marcos could have stayed in Australia, & made a comfortable living, & had a good career in the Super Cars, but no one outside Australia would have known of him. To Come to NASCAR country, was a big leap of faith. I think one of the keys to Marcos’s development is that he was always willing to challenge himself, by moving up.
