Give me a B-O-R-I-S!
Yep, despite the rain, my buddy Boris Said will be driving this weekend at The Glen for Petty Enterprises. Woo-Hoo!
Ford has given Boris the OK to run the Dodge for Petty. Like has happened so many other times in the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Boris’ chance to qualify or his awesome qualifying runs were doused by a rain-out, Friday was just the most recent.
In an article on Scene Daily this afternoon, Kyle Petty said he hopes Boris can get in their car and tell them how they need to tweak it for road courses. He’s looking for constructive comments, not positive and not necessarily a win, just how to make the package better.
They know who’s the go-to guy on the road course.
Now, since qualifying got rained out, that puts the other Kyle, Busch, that is, on the pole.
And that puts Tony Stewart at 9th. Not an impossible place, very probable, really.
Plus, he does have six road course wins, with four of those at The Glen.
It’s time to git-r-done, Tony! You’ve been close, so close, but not over that line first.
While on the subject of Tony, I would be remiss, and all you Tony-haters would claim prejudice, if I failed to mention the return of bad-boy behavior at Indianapolis.
He was his big-hearted, benevolent self early in the evening before the Silver Crown race, meeting with ill children and giving major help to the K-9 units of the Indiana State Police.
Then, he snapped, shoving a race official, ripping the electronics of his head and throwing it to the ground, going nose to nose and toes to toes. It’s quite the popular video on You Tube. And as they say in the hockey world, he probably spoke fluent French, too.
My thought is he’s a passionate guy when it comes to racing. He just couldn’t keep the beast completely under control.
Anger management classes (again) anyone?

Are you serious? There is such thing as a NASCAR club? PATHETIC!! Gas is almost $4.00 a gallon and it's being wasted by guys driving in circles and the sad thing is, people watch it!! Hilljacks.
