Boris Said to race at Sonoma for Jeffrey Earnhardt

[StandOnIt]

Said will be making his 17th career start at Sonoma Raceway and 53rd career Cup start. His best finish at Sonoma was sixth in 2003 and ’04. Earnhardt has never run in a Cup event at Sonoma or Watkins Glen International, the other road course on the circuit.

I'm kind of disappointed. Jeffrey needs to make laps at these places to get experience.

Boris is past his prime, typically never does well in as a sub, especially in sub par equipment.

While he's past his prime, he's still gotten the best non-plate result of the year for the #32 each of the past few years, which is all he's there to do.

I'm expecting a solid 30th place finish for him this Sunday. He's just not as good as he once was.

He'll earn more points and money for the team than Jeffrey would. Let Jeffrey get his road course experience in the K&N race, or at some of the Xfinity r/c races.

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

Jeffrey somehow didn't get the racing gene. he got the name but he don't have the skills.

Nice to see Boris back in a Cup car, even if he is past is sale by date.

I'm a Said-head! Go Boris!

I'm surprised no one has picked up Marcus Ambrose yet to drive something. Maybe they have tried and he just isn't interested.

 

[DIDIT]

Boris is on the very short list of drivers that I actually had more than a 30 second conversation with. They guy is very genuine and funny. I forget what race it was, I am thinking it was a practice session, he came and sat beside us in the stands at Daytona. He has pulled some jerk moves, but because of that time sitting and talking with him he will always be on my favorites list.

I still lol every time I watch him vs biffle

I'm pretty sure Taz has hung up his driving shoes. Even if he was still running SuperCars, I doubt he'd be interested in making the trip over for a one-off.

I agree that all cup drivers should have at least 3 RC races on their resume before getting a RC race on their licence. But then Nascar says if you run Daytona in an ARCA car your qualified to run cup.

these guys are happy

The Said Heads are always happy.

I was always hoping Boris was going to make it full time with that #60 Done No Fear car. He gave that thing some good runs.

yep if the series at that time would have had a couple more road courses, it might have been

 

[Kiante]

I want Ambrose to come back.

One of the best finishes I've seen in years (possibly one the best finishes ever) was Ambrose/Busch on the road course.

 

[JGR_20]

Remember how much of a story line these guys like Boris used to be when they would run Sonoma and "the glen"... Pre race use to be all about it.

Honestly, I'll take this moment to give a shout out to all the Cup guys who really stepped up and got really darn good at driving these road courses. Even aside from the obvious guys like Jeff Gordon/Tony Stewart... most of the Cup regulars in the last 10-15 years run the two road courses really well.

Kerry & Jeffrey have both haven't had it.

I wish Ambrose or Justin Marks would get a Cup ride at the road courses.

Marcos is unequivocally retired from ALL racing activity, including in his native Australia (which he returned to after parting ways w/ RPM).

It'd been way cool to see Ambrose in a cup car onna road course.

Is Marks racing the Xfinity road courses this year?

From the qualifying broadcast today the FOX crew said Boris told them he's going to hang it up (at least from NASCAR) after this year. Makes sense.

Thanks buddy, he put on a show in the rain last year

Yeah, Watkins Glen will be his last NASCAR race, sad to see it .
