Marcos Ambrose will have to wait another day to attempt to become the first driver to ‘sweep’ the Watkins Glen NASCAR weekend after rain postponed the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen in Watkins Glen, New York today.

Ambrose was due to start fourth in today’s 90-lap race aboard the #47 Little Debbie-backed entry of JTG Daugherty Racing as he attempts to win his first top-flight Sprint Cup Series race.

But due to persistent showers, the 22nd race in this year’s Sprint Cup Series will kick-off at Noon US Eastern time (2:00am Australian Eastern Standard time).

Yesterday, the Australian earned his second NASCAR victory by winning the Zippo 200 in the Nationwide Series for the second-consecutive year.
