In what has to be one of the biggest culture clashes in sport NASCAR hits the wine country this weekend when the Sprint Cup hits the Infineon Raceway.
In addition to the traditional left hand turns Infineon also be right hand turns and changes in elevation. All of this is good from Carlsbadistan’s own NASCAR driver Boris Said if he can qualify in today’s qualification runs.
Sonoma also gives fans of Boris Said, the so-called “Said Heads,” another chance to cheer the Carlsbad driver and road-course specialist with the mop of curly hair. . . .Said has four top-10 finishes in eight starts at Sonoma. But he doesn’t have enough points this season to automatically start in Sunday’s 43-car field, so he’ll have to qualify his No. 60 Ford today.
If Boris makes it in the race we might even watch it on TNT at 12:30 PM on Sunday.
