Remember the 2012 Cheez-It 355 at Watkins Glen International, when Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose fought to the finish after Kyle Busch spun out? 

Ambrose won, but now, expect to see him in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (Nationwide is losing the name of the sponsorship in 2015, you may have known that already).

With help from his current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series sponsor "STANLEY," Ambrose will pilot the No. 09 car in the Zippo 200 this coming Saturday, and will run in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the Cheez-IT 355 at Watkins Glen International (the same track as the Nationwide series race the day before), as usual, piloting the No. 9 car with his current sponsor, "STANLEY."

Ambrose is a three-time winner of this Nationwide Series race, and hopes to gain an edge in the Sprint Cup Series race the next day.

Ambrose's current Sprint Cup Series pit crew will be his pit crew in the Nationwide Series race.

Engineer Scott McDougall will be Anbrose's crew chief in the race.
