AutoExec Summary

Marcos Ambrose is set to leave NASCAR in the US to return to Australia, with Penske expected to confirm his participation in the V8 Supercar Championship. The announcement is likely to involve the acquisition of a V8 Supercar Racing Entitlement Contract from Dick Johnson Racing for Ambrose to compete in a Ford Falcon next season. Ambrose, 38, shared that he decided months ago to focus on family, letting his daughters experience the Australian lifestyle. Despite having success in road racing, he felt his NASCAR career had plateaued with no wins in over 200 Sprint Cup starts. Ambrose won V8 Supercar Championships in 2003 and 2004 and plans to leverage Penske’s Australian interests for sponsorship.

Brands mentioned: Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet, Penske Richard Petty Motorsports
