Team Rensi Motorsports has signed Boris Said to drive the team’s No. 25 Ford in the upcoming Nationwide Series races in Mexico City and Montreal – both road-course events.
Said, 45, has run a limited NASCAR schedule for the past few seasons and is generally in the field when a road-course race in on the schedule. He has competed in three races at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, earning three top-five finishes with one pole. He also competed in the inaugural race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve last season in Canada, finishing 28th.
Frank Stoddard, who has worked with Said as crew chief on the NASCAR Sprint Cup No Fear Racing team, will be in the same role for the two Nationwide races.
“It’s exciting to know Team Rensi Motorsports will now race in every Nationwide Series event,” said Ronnie Russell, president of Team Rensi Motorsports. “We worked real hard to make this happen, it was important to our team to enter every race. Having Boris Said in the No. 25 No Fear/Smithfield Foods Ford Fusion in Mexico City and Montreal will be a real honor. Every race Boris enters he is a threat to win the pole and the race. It will be great having him on our team this season.”
Said is also looking forward to the opportunity to race on these courses. His car will be sponsored by No Fear Energy drink and Smithfield Foods.
“Mexico City and Montreal are very challenging road courses,” he said. “I can’t wait.”
