Boris Said readies for NASCAR last hurrah with Hendrick
“Despite considering himself retired from full-time racing, Boris Said will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the first time since 2021, driving the No. 17 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in the Charlotte Roval race. Said, who turned 61 earlier this month, sees this opportunity as a surreal and exciting way to potentially end his NASCAR career. The chance to race came unexpectedly when Carl Long offered him a ride, but Said declined, wanting a more competitive car. He then asked his business partner Rick Hendrick for a motor, but was turned down until Hendrick jokingly offered him the No. 17 car instead. Greg Ives, the crew chief, is preparing for the race by working closely with Said and making necessary adjustments to the car’s setup for the unique characteristics of the Roval.”
