Boris has run Winston Cup at Homestead once before back in 1999. Started 27th and finished 34th. I don't remember who the car owner was, but I believe it was sponsored by Federated Auto parts.
Could Jasper be looking at Boris as a possible full time driver for next season? Doesn't seem likely, there are some more experienced oval course drivers without a ride. But teams are looking a drivers these days which run a little contrary to conventional wisdom.
The Jasper team is possibly faced with once again rebuilding itself. Pemberton is gone for sure, and Blaney may be. The team had some type of strategic alignment with Penske this season and I don't know how that will work with Penske's move to Dodge for 2003. Jasper has said they will stay with Ford.
Another team to watch for developments with.
