Ambros to Cup; ESPN Analyst Daugherty to Field Cup Team

Catchy title, but the two items are related.

Marcos Ambros has been tagged for the Cup series in the 2009 season and he'll be driving for JTG Daugherty Racing. Yes, Brad Daugherty of ESPN Analyst notoriety.

It's an interesting pairing, with both making a pretty big new venture into the Cup series.

Interesting things about Brad:
Daugherty has had prior experience fielding NASCAR teams. His team, Liberty Racing has fielded such drivers in the Nationwide and Truck series as the late Kenny Irwin Jr., Wayne Anderson and Kevin Harvick. He also teamed up with Brian France to start NASCAR's Diversity Council.


Thanks to fullthrottle.cranialcavity for the info, cause I didn't know this about Brad.
