In what I think is a wonderfully popular victory on Monday (the race was rain-delayed from Sunday), Marcos Ambrose pulled off a late-race pass and took the checkered flag at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Watkins Glen, the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen race.

Ambrose took the checkers, followed by Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Juan Montoya, A.J. Allmendinger, Jeff Burton & Jimmie Johnson rounded out the top-ten finishing spots.
