It takes a lot of guts to make an aggressive move on Kyle Busch and Marcos Ambrose has proved that he has what it takes.

Ambrose saw a microscopic opening while trying to pass Busch for the lead and he took it. The end result got him the lead but it sent Busch off the track. He managed to hold Busch off despite multiple cautions and restarts near the end of the event and took the checkers. Afterwards, Busch showed Ambrose how he felt about the aggressive move by giving him a not-so-friendly nudge on the cool down lap.

Busch, true to character, voiced his opinions on the incident during his post-race interview.

“Well I think it was a little aggressive getting into the bus stop but you have to do what you have to do to win,” Busch said. “(When he made the move) I didn’t see him, I heard him. I heard him in the grass or wherever the hell he was and I turned left.”

Ambrose showed no remorse, only pride in Victory Lane.

“I just tried to surprise him. I surprised myself,” he said. “I made it stick and went on to victory lane for the second time… I’m just really proud of my guys and it’s just great… I raced him hard… I just waited for the moment and then seized it.”

There was a second controversial incident with only a handful of laps left. Robby Gordon, who was a lap down, once again lost his temper during a race; this time his anger was focused on Joey Logano.

After getting loose coming out of a turn, Gordon forced Logano all the way to the wall. A short while later, he again made contact with Logano coming out of a turn and then finally nudged him enough to send Logano into a tire barrier. Logano’s car caught fire and he had to bail, bringing out the caution. Amazingly enough, Gordon was awarded the Lucky Dog Award for that caution and got back on the lead lap.

Outside the Infield Care Center, Logano was obviously perturbed by the entire situation.

“Pretty raw deal to race someone (that hard),” he said. “Pretty stupid I think. But you can’t fix stupid, it lasts forever.”

When it all was said and done, Busch finished second to Ambrose with Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Ron Fellows behind him. Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle, David Ragan, Brad Keselowski and Scott Speed rounded out the top-10.

Road course ringer Boris Said finished 11th before racing again in tomorrow’s Sprint Cup Series race.

Jeffrey Earnhardt finished 24th in his Nationwide Series debut.

The next event on the Nationwide Series schedule is set for next Saturday, August 15th at Michigan International Speedway. The race will air at 3p.m. on ESPN2.
