Thanks to brake trouble Carlsbadistan’s NASCAR racer Boris Said had a bad day at Infineon Raceway on Sunday. After starting in 14th position, he flipped it and finished in 41st.
Before coming into the season’s first Sprint Cup road race, Said was looking to overturn his unlucky year of racing. But on Lap 3 of the scheduled 110-lap race, the front brakes on Said’s No. 60 7-Eleven No Fear/Slurpee Ford Fusion were starting to fail. . . . “When the brake pedal went to the floor on the third lap, I knew we had a big problem,” explained Said, who qualified 14th. “Our car started the race just as strong as we were in practice yesterday. But a component failure cut our day short.”
Said’s next race will be a 400 miler in Daytona. We hope things go better there.
