Real Racing...Fake News...Updated Nightly

Who the Heck is Boris Said?

This past weekend, Boris Said shocked the Nascar world by winning the pole at Daytona, then coming in 4th in the Pepsi 400. Who is this poofy-haired man? Lets take a look:

--As opposed to most racers, who start their careers young, Said didn't start racing competitively until he was in his 20's. Meanwhile, Steve Grissom has yet to start racing competitively at all.

--After winning the pole at Infineon Raceway, he earned entry into the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. Upon racing around the 2.5 mile superspeedway for the first time, Said could be heard on his radio, screaming "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

--Said has developed a cult following who are commonly referred to as "Said Heads". Chances are, if you ARE a Said Head, you claim to like IRL better than Nascar, are a big soccer fan, and drive a Pontiac Solstice, 'cause its different...just like everyone else.

--While racing is a big part of his life, he still devotes a large part of his time to his kids Ahmet, Dweezil, and Moon Unit.*

--Said's sponsor is the engery drink SoBe No Fear, whose major competitor is Red Bull. Said has come out against Red Bull so frequently in interviews, he's now referring to his pit crew as "The Castrators".

*If you got this joke, you like classic rock WAY too much.

I am a "Said Head", however...
1. I will never like the IRL more than NASCAR.
2. I hate soccer with a passion (along with a strong dislike of David Beckham...don't ask)
3. I don't drive a Pontiac Solstice...sadly, I drive a minivan.

P.S. Ilike classic rock WAY too much...

Uh, Boris has competed on the Daytona oval quite a few times before... most notably in the 2004 Budweiser Shootout.

Also, Steve Grissom was the 1993 Busch Series champion... I would consider that being "competitive" on some level.

I'm usually a big fan of this blog, but this entry, and its naivetee really left me cold.

I figured when he said "when he won the pole at Infineon" he meant in 2003, which is the pole that made him eligible for the Bud Shootout in '04.
