Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Remember how Marcos Ambrose seemed to be in the middle of several incidents at Martinsville? Ambrose seemed to stick his No. 47 car for JTG Daugherty Racing in some of the wrong places, sparking a couple wrecks.
Well, in his diary for USA Today's web site, Ambrose acknowledged he was perhaps too aggressive during his run at the Virginia short track:
Being that we started in the back, I may have been driving over my head to get to the front. I made some people irritated when I would try to fill a hole and it just did not work out. One time Greg Biffle came across my nose and I couldn't get out of there in time and it was my fault. I think I even made Smoke (Tony Stewart) aggravated when I tried to get to the bottom a couple of times. He scooted me up the race track with his front bumper to let me know.
When you're mired back in traffic like that on a short track sometimes you find yourself driving more aggressively. I had the wrong approach and was a little too aggressive. All day, I was either in the middle of it, a part of it or I caused the trouble.
Ambrose also said he wants to be respectful of the other, more-established drivers and called or texted some of those he may have angered last weekend.
