Ambrose gets first win at Watkins Glen International

In his 59th Nationwide Series start in the No. 59 Ford, Marcos Ambrose won the Zippo 200 at the 2.45-mile road course, taking the win with just enough fuel in his tank. The first career victory was redemption for Ambrose, whose dominant run last week at Montreal was intercepted by a pit road speeding penalty.

Ambrose took the lead on Lap 79 of 82 after both Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Burton ran out of fuel in front of him on successive laps. Kyle Busch overcame an early race penalty when his team failed to control a tire on pit road to finish second, 4.336 seconds behind Ambrose.

Busch also drove away from a 360-degree spin in Turn 11 after contact with Burton's Chevrolet on Lap 62. Matt Kenseth came home third -- his first top-five finish in either of NASCAR's top two series -- followed by Kevin Harvick and polesitter Dario Franchitti.

"I didn't quite have the car," Ambrose said frankly. "We didn't quite hit the setup the way we wanted to, but we had enough to stay with them. We just couldn't race as hard as I wanted to, but the race came our way." Hear what else Ambrose had to say in his post-race interview.

Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Jason Leffler, David Ragan and Brad Coleman completed the top 10. Burton finished 14th after refueling. Johnson took his No. 48 Chevrolet to the garage after running out of gas and was credited with a 29th-place result.
