Go Boris, go!


When you drive at a superspeedway, car temperatures get pretty hot.

When you skid down a bobsled run, temperatures get pretty cold.

Boris Said can take ‘em both.

Over the weekend, Bobsledder Boris won the Chevy Geoff Bodine Bobsled challenge in Lake Placid, N.Y.- again. It was his third win in the four years of the Challenge.

For practice day last Friday, it was -8 in the morning and warmed up to -4 in the afternoon.

Since 1993, Geoff Bodine has been heading up Bo-Dyn Bobsleds for the U.S. Olympic team. He began building bobsleds after learning the U.S. Team had to purchase equipment from Germany. Now, the sleds are American made.

The event, which pitted NASCAR drivers against NHRA drivers, raised money for the U.S. Bobsled team.
