Let’s cut to the chase. No pun intended, although we’re quite excited to be returning to Richmond.
With qualifying being rained out Friday at Watkins Glen, and NASCAR refusing to look at a slight schedule change, Boris Said (among others) were left out in that same rain. He was actually quite adamant about it, going as far as to say it may be one of the final nails in the coffin of his #60 No Fear Racing team.
So what the heck does that have to do with Awesome Bill?
Bill showed up to the garage this morning with his “Owners Hat” on. After talking with the Wood Brothers, Bill got the go ahead to make the call and let Boris wheel the #21 Motocraft/Air Force/Little Debbies Ford Fusion for tomorrow’s show.
Of course Boris will have to start from the back, but we’re talking the difference of a spot of two since Bill was starting back there anyway due to the rain out.
In the end, Bill reminds us of what a true Champion is. He knows its a team effort, and knows that doing what’s best for the team is not only the best thing to do, but the right thing to do. And if that also helps out a fellow racer that can’t seem to get a note from the Luck Bank, all the better.
