The 43 Days of Daytona - 42nd Place in 2005
Over the 43 days leading up to the Daytona 500, I'll be doing a short review/preview of the Top 43 Drivers of 2005.
----------------
Boris Said
#36 - Centrix
Boris appeared in 9 races in 2005. He finished 42nd in points racing with the MBV/MB2 Racing Team. He pulled 1 Top 5 in one of those starts. His average start was 26.0. His average finish was 25.0.
Boris has been a quality road racer regardless of the type of car he has been in. He reminds me of Schrader. He's racing all the time. He raced a bobsled at Lake Placid a couple of months back as part of the Chevrolet/Bodine Bobsled program.
His winnings for the 2005 season was $1,006,678.00.
This season with MB-Sutton Racing taking a shot with him and putting him in the car for 9 races was a good thing. If sponsorship comes through, I would like to see what Boris could do with a full season of stock car racing. He could be interesting.
Do I think he could go win a championship? No.
Do I think he could go win a race or two and have a good season in equipment that is on a par with Joe Nemechek's? Yes.
Add Sterling Marlin to the team and you've got a damn good stable of racers. Yes, in this age of the Youth Movement in NASCAR this team does seem long in the tooth. But I'm betting they are going to jump up and bite a few guys this year.
