08/08/2009 - Watkins Glen, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose made a bold move on Kyle Busch for the lead and then held off the current points leader on two late- race double-file restarts to win the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International for the second year in a row.
Ambrose made his pass on Busch for the lead as the two headed into the chicane with 19 laps to go. Ambrose's maneuver forced Busch to swerve to the left, causing him to miss the entrance into the chicane.
"I knew I had to dive bomb him to try and get past," Ambrose said. "If I would have waited for the last 10 laps, he was going to do anything he could to block me, so I just tried to surprise him. I surprised myself because I got in there pretty hard."
Ambrose scored his second career Nationwide victory. He won a NASCAR national touring series race for the first time one year ago at Watkins Glen.
Busch fell to third after the incident, but fought off Carl Edwards in the closing laps to finish second. He has now finished first or second for the 10th straight race, surpassing Jack Ingram's 1983 record of consecutive one- two finishes.
During the cool-down at the conclusion of the race, Busch made a slight nudge on Ambrose's car to express his displeasure of the Aussie's move for the lead.
"I think it was a little aggressive going into the bus stop (chicane), but you got to do what you got to do to win," Busch said. "I felt it was a really late move, and if I would have went through there with him, I would have wrecked. So I had to do what I had to do to preserve my car and save myself."
Busch also tied Sam Ard's series record for leading a lap in 19 consecutive races.
Edwards finished third, followed by Kevin Harvick, the pole sitter, and Ron Fellows, a road course ringer.
Busch has now padded his lead to 212 points over Edwards.
Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle, David Ragan, Brad Keselowski and Scott Speed completed the top-10.
Robby Gordon and Joey Logano also had an on-track skirmish late in the race. Gordon leaned into Logano, forcing him to slide off the track and slam into the tire barrier.
As Logano attempted to head back to the pits, the bottom of his car erupted into flames. He quickly exited the car without any injuries.
Several laps before the incident, the two made contact several times before Gordon's front hood was crunched in, eventually causing a tire to blow.
