Ambrose comes up short again in Montreal

MONTREAL—Polesitter Marcos Ambrose thought he had the fastest car in Sunday’s NAPA Auto Parts 200 Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
He was right—until a problem with his electrical system cut the power of his No. 47 Toyota in half.
Ambrose’s crew tried changing batteries, but that didn’t fix the problem. Ultimately, Ambrose brought the car to the garage after 50 of 77 laps, extending his winless streak in cheap nfl jerseysMontreal—and his frustration—to four years.
In the inaugural race in 2007, Ambrose was spun while leading by Robby Gordon, who ignored NASCAR’s order to abandon second position and blend in deeper in the field. In 2008, it was a pit-road speeding penalty that foiled a likely win.
Last year, Carl Edwards passed Ambrose through the final corner to steal the victory. In four years, Ambrose has led 149 laps at the 2.709-mile road course with no win to show for it.
“First of all, we had the fast car Ravens jersey there,” Ambrose said of Sunday’s effort. “We were dominating early on. We just had an alternator or battery lay down on us, and the engine went into half RPM. I held the lead for a long time.
“I had to turn all the fans off for the brakes and the engine and me. We all got hot and damaged. Eventually, the motor got so bad we had to change the battery, and then I broke Bills jersey
something in the left front suspension.”
Even in defeat, Ambrose was philosophical.
“It’s a great track,” he said. “It’s a great city. Huge crowd. I love coming here. Just because I’m not winning doesn’t mean I don’t have fun.”
