Hi Boris, This is your most devoted fan here in AR. Any news on new sponsorships
for the rest of the year?? |
|
Boris_Said |
| |
No. We had our meeting with Pepsi this week and we are still trying to get
things done for next year. Nothing new yet for this year. A lot of people are
kicking tires but our Cup teams are down to Watkins Glen and Talladega.

Hey Boris, I've been to your K1Speed Karting place in Irvine several times and
its a blast! I want to know if you are going to be running any more Busch races
for Evernham? Will it just be Montreal? |
|
Boris_Said |

Montreal and Watkins Glen. We are opening a new track next to Ontario Mills Mall
next week. |

Thanks for coming to the track by the way. |

Hey Boris, If you could change one thing about NASCAR, what would it be?
|
|
Boris_Said |
| |
The top 35 qualifying rule. I think it should be the top 40 based on speed and 3
provisionals. This would make it a lot more fair for everybody. |

Hi Boris-- your thoughts on Nascar qualifying after the Daytona rainout? |
|
Boris_Said |

I was definitely disappointed when it rained. I knew the rules going in and I
knew rain was possible. Rules are rules and they're totally fair. We had a real
fast race car so it was disappointing. |

The way things are going for Ginn right now, I'll bet they wished that they had

Boris_Said |

I think they have pretty
good drivers but I would have loved to have a full time ride there. Jay
Frye is still a good friend of mine and I wish them all the best but if
I had gone with them I wouldn't have been able to start my own team and
find out how tough that is |

coming up to the pit lane paddock at the Glen last year and signing autographs
during Cup qualifying. You were the only driver to do so. |

I have had the fro since the day I came out I think. The only reason I know that

competing when you only race a few times a year. |

Boris, it's always easy to spot you at a driver's meeting, with the hairdo and

No. Unfortunately it just doesn't seem possible. I think the champ cars are big
enough now but the opportunity hasn't come up. I would try it if anyone asked. |

Have any pending sponsorship deals you'd like to share? Really would like to see

|
Boris_Said |

We're working everyday to try and find a new sponsor but nothing on the horizon.
We're working on Pepsi to get more involved and go full time to go head to head
with Red Bull. We think No Fear should be a full sponsor and it is owned by
Pepsi. |

Oh yeah. Before that I had never been to Europe. Probably the time I spent with
Callaway in Europe, Japan and China was really a highlight of my year. For a kid
from Connecticut that had never been anywhere it was really exciting. Definitely
realized how good we have it in America. |

My dad actually was a racer but he left home when I was 4 so I didn't know he

What is your favorite course to drive and your most challenging if the two are

The answer for both is definitely Nurburing. It's 15 miles around, 186 turns and
they start 230 cars. The cars, rain and weather makes it very challenging. But
in the states it's Watkins Glen for sure. |

version? |
|
Boris_Said |
| |
I had a lot of input on the version that Roush built because I drove it. I like
it a lot because of the size. It drives quite a bit different than the old car
but I think as we keep working on the COT it will get better because it really
is a great race car. |

How would you compare Infineon to Watkins Glen? |
|
Boris_Said |

Infineon is a much more technical track that requires more finesse on the petal.
You can be a lot more aggressive at Watkins Glen, it's a lot higher speed and
you have to be really good on the brakes there. |

What do you think about Bernie E. and his feeling that he doesn't care if F1 is

If he doesn't care I don't think we should either. I think for the most part
it's boring. It's nothing like Grand-Am Rolex or NASCAR. I think he's wrong and
that it should be in the US. We are the biggest car purchasing country in the
world. Indy was a great location but the racing was a little boring. |

I don't know. I would hope they would but it seems like F1 doesn't really care
about American so it's hard to care about them. |

I heard you and Kahne's team stopped by Captain Bill's Seneca Lake last year at
Watkins Glen. Any plans to stop by in the village area this year? |
|
Boris_Said |
| |
Yeah, I'm always in the village. I love to eat at the Seneca Lodge and Glen
Motor Inn. I think we're having a dinner with the whole 9 team at Seneca Lodge.

I'm trying to imagine you with a shaved head Boris, perhaps you could make a
cameo appearance in a sci-fi movie or show! |
|
Boris_Said |

Maybe if they bring back Kojak. |

As a tradition at Seneca Lodge for the Grand Prix they hang a laurel for the
winner every year. What would you hang if you would the NASCAR race and
celebrated there? |
|
Boris_Said |
| |
I would hang my hair
that I shaved off in a plastic bag. |

What do you like most and dislike most about the Nascar Now gig? You're doing a
great job, btw! |

The only thing I don't like is that they spray makeup on your face with an
airbrush. That seems kind of weird. |

My dad is a retired firefighter who got hurt on the job and helped at ground

possibly meet you? |

Yes. I'm doing a Q & A at one of the hospitality tents on Sunday. |

Boris, are there certain tracks that make you suck your breath in, that require
"large attachments", as David Hobbs would say? |
|
Boris_Said |
| |
Yes. Nurburg Ring for sure and a spot in Belgium, Eau Rouge. |

Is it true you stopped for a piece a pizza after a wreck on the way back to the
pits at Watkins a few years ago or is that an urban legend? I gotta know :)

Absolute truth. They were all looking for me because I was waiting in a long
line for pizza. When I got back they were mad at me. |

What's more challenging, road courses or oval? |

For me ovals just because I don't have the experience like I do on the road
courses. But they are all challenging. |
