Boris Said suffers burns in wreck

During an ALMS race on Saturday in Long Beach, Calif., Boris Said's Corvette burst into flames. He got out, but not before sustaining several second degree burns to his arms and eyes.

I first learned about the wreck from The NASCAR Files while I was checking out updates on Twitter yesterday. TNF reported this statement from car owner, Lou Gigliotti: "Boris is OK but he will have a few weeks of sleepless nights with the burns on his arms and eyes. His face is swollen today and he is not happy."

Check it out:

I am so relieved that he made it out of his car and was able to walk away on his on will. Get well soon, Boris.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
