Carlsbadistan’s NASCAR driver Boris Said Qualified Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Infineon Raceway by playing it safe according to a story on Motorsport.com.
Said’s less-than-full-throttle run was the 14th fastest and he will start the road course event from outside of Row 7. His No. 60 7-Eleven No Fear/Slurpee Ford Fusion recorded a time and speed of 78.568 seconds at 91.182 miles per hour. Kasey Kahne won the pole with a speed of 92.153.
“I stuck to our game plan and I’m glad I did,” offered Said. “I’m a racer and I want to go fast. That’s why it’s mentally difficult when you’re only going 75-80 percent and know you have a car that can challenge for a front row spot. When you’re one of the go or go home teams, you just can’t take a chance by going full throttle.”
Now we can watch Boris go full-throttle on Sunday at 12:30 PM on TNT.
