Ambroses’ to make Adelaide Motorsport Festival debut with Marcos’ NASCAR winner

Father and daughter Marcos and Tabitha Ambrose will attend the 2026 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival, with Marcos’ NASCAR Cup Series race-winning Ford Fusion on track at the event.

Marcos won two Supercars championships before heading to North America, becoming the first Australian to win a race in the top tier of NASCAR. Tabitha is following in her father’s footsteps, competing in Australian Formula Ford in 2025 and looking to race tin-tops in 2026 and beyond.

The Ambroses will attend the 2026 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival courtesy of the event’s naming-rights sponsor, Repco Australia. They will also be appearing on stage together in the Adelaide Marriott Grand Marquee. The Ambroses will be bringing their helmet bags, so stay tuned!

The #9 Stanley/DEWALT Fusion in which Marcos claimed Cup Series wins at Watkins Glen in 2011 and 2012 – the only wins for an Australian in the top tier of NASCAR – will be on track in the American Muscle category at the event.

Tabitha will test the #9 Fusion on February 4 with Warren Luff as lead driver and coach, in preparation for Tabitha to drive the car at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

The 2026 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival will once again feature various categories, ranging from Formula 1 cars, V8 Supercars, sportscars, touring cars, motorbikes, drift cars and more with the action non-stop without a break in track activity at any stage of the day. Off track there will be car displays, kids' zones, bars and food trucks, exhibitors and traders, activations and more, in a picnic in the park setting.
