Marcos Ambrose had his first career Sprint Cup Series victory in sight when a late caution threw a roadblock into his path. Then his own bizarre gaffe cost him the win. Ambrose stalled his engine while trying to conserve gas late in Sunday's race at Infineon Raceway, where his car came to a stop while leading with six laps remaining. He restarted and tried to re-claim his position at the front of the field, but NASCAR ordered him back to seventh place and Jimmie Johnson inherited the lead. Johnson then cruised to his first career road course win, while Ambrose had to settle for a disappointing sixth-place finish. "My bad," the Australian said. "I'm disappointed. It's NASCAR's house and I'll always play by the rules. I don't agree with it, I don't like it and that's only because I lost the race because of it. "I had the motor turned off trying to save a bit of fuel and just had trouble getting it fired again. That's it." http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/cup/news/story?id=5308985
