UPDATE: The fire that struck JTG Racings #59 Nationwide Series hauler has likely ruined two of Marcos Ambroses race cars, team owner Tad Geschickter said Friday. Were going to clean them up and see whats left of them, Geschickter said. But they look like pretty much a write-off. The team used its Craftsman Truck Series hauler for Ambroses cars this weekend and scrambled to replace parts lost in the fire. The team lost a shock dynomometer, as well as shocks and springs and other equipment. Geschickter said the team is working with its insurance company to determine the value of what was lost.(SceneDaily.com)(7-4-2008)
