Marcos Ambrose is kicking some good old boy's Butts.

After a steep learning curve, Marcos is giving the American Truck series a real wake up.
First Rookie on the Podium (3rd) in 7 years this weekend at Kansas.
"I'm learning all the time over here and the set-up is crucial. Tonight we definitely made it work. The truck was pretty loose at the start, but as rubber goes down there is more grip and it pushes the nose up the race track and straightens you up. So you have really got to hold on for the first part of the race and come back towards the end. It's just a bit wild there at the start when you are hanging the tail out at 180mph.
Bravo Dude!
(he is just about far enough away from Murphy now)
