Said to drive #21 at WGI, Goosens in #38?
Permalink  

From Jayski.com:

Said in the #21 at Watkins Glen: Boris Said, whose opportunity to race his #60 No Fear Energy Ford Fusion this weekend was lost when Friday's qualifying session was rained out, will drive the #21 Little Debbie Ford Fusion instead, replacing Bill Elliott. It was Elliott's idea to put Said, a noted road racer, in the car this weekend. Len Wood - co-owner, No. 21 Little Debbie Ford Fusion - "Bill Elliott came up a little while ago, and I guess he had run into Boris across the garage, and he asked him what he was doing, and Boris said, 'Nothing,' you know, he had missed the race. I don't know from where it started, if Bill asked him to drive our car or what. I think that's the way it went because Bill came to me and said that in the best interests of the team, let's put Boris in. He said I'll give it my best effort, and Bill's an excellent road racer, the first place he ever won was at Riverside, but he suggested putting Boris in. We first cleared it with sponsors and then went to NASCAR and cleared it with them."(Ford Racing PR)(8-11-2007)

From Jayski.com:

Goossens practices the #38: Road-course ace Marc Goosens is practicing the #38 Robert Yates Racing Ford of David Gilliland. Gilliland scraped the wall and made only one lap of practice Friday. Gilliland likely will practice in the second session and race the car, Goosens said. "They want to know where they are at with the car and get a good read on it," said Goosens, who made his Cup debut last year at The Glen with RYR and planned to race here this year but sponsorship fell through with the #91 Riley-D'Hondt team. "I'm going to try to help them out. ... I don't think [I'm racing]. Nobody has told me that yet."(SceneDaily.com)(8-11-2007)
