Sunday afternoon, Australian driver Marcos Ambrose was looking to defend his 2011 win at Watkins Glen. It looked as if Ambrose was going to finish third until the last lap turned chaotic.
Watching the last two laps of the Finger Lakes 355 at The Glen unfold live left many holding their breath, sitting on the edge of their seats and wondering what just happened. There were wrecks, grass flying, taking and giving of the lead before one car came out unscathed at the finish line.
Marcos Ambrose is the King of the Road in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and his numbers at Watkins Glen prove it. In four starts prior to Sunday's Finger Lakes 355, Marcos posted four top-5 finishes and went to Victory Lane in last year's race at The Glen while posting an average finish of 2.2 in those four starts. When the race started on Sunday afternoon everyone's eyes were on Ambrose who was the heavy favorite to back up his effort from 2011 and by day's end he didn't disappoint.
One of the craziest final laps we’ve seen in awhile needs some breaking down. A lot of different story lines made up the final lap.

NASCAR once again further soured its reputation following the Finger Lakes 355 at The Glen by manufacturing the end of the race. Kyle Busch had the dominant car of the afternoon and made a daredevil move on the final restart to pass both Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose to take the lead. Busch had a pretty decent gap with about 4-5 laps to go.
In one of the wildest laps ever seen, Marcos Ambrose held off Brad Keselowski for the win in the Finger Lakes 355 at the Glen Sunday. When the white flag flew the leader was Kyle Busch who took the lead in dramatic fashion on a late restart following Tony Stewart's spin coming off turn 11, slamming the entrance to pit road with 18 laps left.
