Ambrose's mistake gives Edwards the win at Montreal

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/30/2009 - Montreal, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose was once again denied the victory at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after he made a costly mistake on a last- lap turn and allowed Carl Edwards to steal the victory in Sunday's NAPA Auto Parts 200.

Ambrose led 60 of 76 laps, but victory at Montreal eluded him for the third consecutive year when he overshot the final corner on the last lap in a green- white-checkered finish. Edwards made the pass on the way to his third Nationwide win of the season.

A disappointed Ambrose finished second, followed Canadians Andrew Ranger and Jacques Villeneuve. Brad Keselowski completed the top-five.

With the victory, Edwards trimmed Kyle Busch's lead to 192 points. Busch spun on the final restart and wound up finishing 10th.
