08/29/2009 -
Montreal, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose prevailed during wet
conditions to win Saturday's qualifying for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Nationwide
Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Ambrose turned a lap at the 2.71-mile, 14-turn street course at 80.905 m.p.h.
in his No.47 JTG/Daugherty Racing Toyota for his second career Nationwide
pole. His first pole came in October 2007 at Memphis.
The Aussie won the Nationwide road course event at Watkins Glen, NY earlier
this month. He finished third in last year's race at Montreal.
Carl Edwards will start alongside Ambrose after securing the outside pole at
80.116 m.p.h.
Canadian Ron Fellows, the defending race winner, qualified third, and road-
racing expert Boris Said took the fourth spot. Brad Coleman completed the top-
five.
Jacques Villeneuve qualified sixth, followed by Justin Marks, Antonio Perez,
Andrew Ranger and Paul Menard.
Current points leader Kyle Busch will start 12th. Busch holds a 248-point
advantage over Edwards.
Two drivers failed to qualify -- Daryl Harr and Morgan Shepherd.
Qualifying was delayed for one hour due to inclement weather. NASCAR
instructed teams to bolt rain tires on their cars prior to the session.
Last year, NASCAR ran its first-ever national series points event in the rain,
but weather conditions deteriorated to the point where the race was cut 26
laps short of the 74-lap distance.
The weather forecast for Sunday's race, which is scheduled to start around
2:30 p.m. (et), calls for scattered showers with a 40 percent chance of rain.
