08/17/2010 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose has signed a multi-year contract with Richard Petty Motorsports to drive the No.9 Ford in the Sprint Cup Series beginning in 2011, the team announced on Tuesday.

Ambrose will replace Kasey Kahne in the No.9 car when Kahne departs RPM for Red Bull Racing at the end of this season.

"We are very happy to have Marcos Ambrose join our team," team owner and NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Petty said in a statement. "He's a very talented and passionate driver and will be a great addition to our team."

Long-time RPM sponsor Stanley Black and Decker will serve as Ambrose's primary sponsor next year.

"I'm very excited to join Richard Petty Motorsports," Ambrose said. "It's an incredible honor to be able to race for a legend like 'The King' and be a part of this organization. I'm also happy to be back with Ford Racing. The No.9 team has been a very successful team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. With the support of Ford and everyone at RPM, I believe we can continue that tradition of success. I'm also excited to join forces with Stanley."

Ambrose revealed three weeks ago that he will part ways with JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of this season. He has driven the No.47 Toyota for JTG Daugherty since the tail end of the 2008 season. He also drove a Nationwide Series entry full-time for the team during the 2007 and '08 seasons.

The 33-year-old Ambrose currently is 26th in points, with three top-10 finishes so far this season. He ended the 2009 season 18th in points. His career-best Cup finish of second came last year at the Watkins Glen, NY road course. Ambrose is considered a road course expert.
