The date was August 12, 2012. NASCAR Watkins was back to Glen International, which was for the annual visit to New York Road course, and Kyle Busch Was under the control of the race.
Follow Joe Gibbs Racing Bush’s Toyota was his bitter rival Brad KeselovskyDriving a pense. And both of them were the Australian supercar Ace Marcos Ambrose, who were trying to go back-to-back in Glenn.
But none of them was aware that they were about to participate in one of the most wild finishes in Watkins Glenn history… Thank you Bobby lebonateHe had only taken his sick car into pits, but not before getting wet the most tracks in oil. NASCAR officials did not notice.
The Keselowski and Ambros started closing rapidly on the Busch, which was slipping here and there on the sleek surface, possibly confused in this way. Entering essays on the White Flag Lap, Keselowski saw a small inauguration inside. Busch tried to bang the door, but Keselowski was never going to rise He The driver, given their controversial history. The contact was made, and the Busch turned around.

Kesellowski worked hard on the break and avoided getting caught in the rubble, but lifting meant that there was ‘Tasmanian Devil’ on the bumper behind him. The race remained green as Ambros and Keselowski slipped around, which took the hill to the bus stop. The smoke was billing from the left front of Keselowski’s Dodge, as he was due to the early loss of contact with Bush.
Barely capable of controlling the car in oil, the Keselovski bus stop burst through dirt. Ambrose sent grass and dirt flying on the hood of his cars. Keselowski almost exited, making the wheel as hard as it could to bring back the sliding number 2 dodge.

After moments, they again came back into the dirt as they exited the bus stop. Keselowski’s car missed the top of the Hindola, but Ambros went out even further as he tried to take a swipe in the bumper of Kesellowski. It seemed that the fight could end, but electricity could not be found down when it exits Keselovsky. Tires were roaming in oil, and Ambrose had all the speed from the ‘dry line’ outside the racing groove.
Ambrose slammed into the back of the Cselovski’s car when he got out of the corner, which sent him sideways because Ambros immersed his left sides into the grass. Both drivers were now side-by-side as they used to run towards the last two corners. Ambrose was chopped in front of Keselovski, now further, but Kesellowski was eager to return the favor. He pushed Australians completely from the track in Turn 6, but Ambrose made the wheel difficult to bring it back to the racing line as they reached the last corner.

Side-by-side once again, the crowd roared that they slipped around 7, which slipped with 7 with a checked flag. Ambrose used all tracks, widening Keselowski. It took everything that he had to keep his car out of the wall as Ambros survived his fist, allowing Ambros to allow the checker flag to be captured in one of the most dramatic finish in the history of NASCAR.
This was Ambrose’s second career victory in the NASCAR Cup series, and his last. He celebrated the team owner and stock car racing legend Richard in Jeet Lane with ‘The King’ Paytm, unable to believe what happened now.

“We did not have luck in this one; we were worth winning,” Ambrose said at that time. “It was absolutely chaos in the end, and the three of us were matching equally. I felt that I had burnt a break or my tire, as I was slipping all around … At that time, I was not sure that it was my oil that was causing a problem or someone else. We were there with big boys today.”
