Thanks to rain during qualifying for last week’s Pepsi 400 at the Daytona Speedway, Carlsbad’s favorite NASCAR driver Boris Said and the SOBE/No Fear number 60 car were out of last Saturday’s race. NASCAR rules state that all cars much finish their qualifying runs, or the race seeding will be based on current points. Even though Said had qualified, rain cancelled the runs after only 39 of the 53 cars had taken to the track, according to the North County Times.
“I’m just disappointed; we worked really hard and probably would have won the pole,” the 44-year-old driver explained, showing his frustration. “We would have backed-up last year’s pole and would have shown (potential sponsors) what we can do.”
No word on when Said and the SOBE/No Fear car will race again.
