There are billboards in Australia emblazoned with Marcos Ambrose's face. Television cameras can't get enough of his bubbly personality; fans can't get enough of his flashy style. And now, Wood Brothers/JTG Racing hope to transform all of that into a successful NASCAR career.

"I don't know if this sport is ready for Marcos Ambrose," said Eddie Wood, co-owner of Ambrose's Ford F150 in Saturday's Kroger 250 at the Martinsville Speedway. "He's something else. He's the biggest racing star the country's has known. We believe he's going to be all of that, if not more, here in America."

Ambrose will make his NASCAR debut this Saturday. NASCAR wanted him to skip the first three races until they were convinced his success in Australia would translate to its brand of racing.
