- Boris Said talks about how he got the call to fill in for Jimmy Spencer and how the team had no idea how green the driver was heading into his first time on track at New York's Watkins Glen Speedway. He details an opportunity that followed to test for the Wood Brothers and how that opened doors for him in the Stock Car world. The first big door to open was from one of racing's biggest stars, Dale Earnhardt. The Intimidator wanted Boris to teach his son, Dale Jr., how to get around a road course faster. And that he did. Said and Dale Jr. share details about their first meeting and how their friendship and respect grew.
Oh, and y'all know we love a good Dale Earnhardt story! Boris has some of the best, including the day Dale Earnhardt fetched him a peanut butter sandwich. And if that isn't enough, Said will go down in history as one of the few drivers to ever hop behind the wheel of the famed #3 at the personal request of Dale Sr. It's a moment that had him grinning from ear to ear.
I know its been over 20 years but anybody talking about or telling a story of dale earnhardt puts a smile on my face and brings back great memories. He is truly missed and never will we forget him
Damn Right
So many stories ,, that make a real man out of the legend.I enjoy the response of Dale Junior when he learns something new about his dad,
The intimidator imgage he potrayed but yet the humble down home guy Boris talks about here, yeah that is Dale. The media gave him the image and he ran with it (beyond smart of his part), but in the end he had a heart of gold and was as humble as anyone, even if he didn't want anyone knowing it.
Now y'all know why the "Said Heads" were such loyal fans...and I was one of them and still am! Great interview!
100% .. Said Heads are still alive,,, in TransAm in a nice Pancho Weaver Challenger
Boris Said won an Xfinity or Nationwide serie race in my hometown Montreal Canada😎
Bunch of them sat in front of us at the Glen years ago. "Who said? Boris Said!".
@@mikefinn8414 I was probably one of the "Who Said? Boris Said" Heads - I made it a point to go to the Glen just to watch Boris race. The Boot [turns 8 and 9] was our favorite site.
Boris had a reputation of racing just about anything, anywhere, that was offered to him ... and he usually did a pretty good job of it! Highly entertaining guy.
And for free, until they forced him to accept a paycheck!
He's the only man that can turn Right, right...
He was "the guy" for bmw in the states for years after hans stuck left. Learned from the best!
@@plisskenationbackfromthede3657 hans stuck join audi after that right?
@@Rafa-qj4if he was with audi before he joined bmw in the 90s. Pretty sure he retired with them at the end of the decade
I miss that era where the road course ringers would come to spoil the cup boys party. Cool stuff.
Except for Jeff Gordon, Rusty Wallace, and Dale Earnhardt
@@codyC423
Don't forget Bobby Allison's 6 wins in 46 RC races and an average finish of 11:00
Or
Rustys 46 RC races 6 wins and a 15:36 average finish
Or
Jeff Gordon's 47 RC races 9 wins and a average finish of 13:02
Now here's the part I like best
Dale Earnhardt had 47 RC races and only 1 win but a average finish of 10:40
In a time nascar no longer really cares about consistency through a season and have a gimmicky chase and segment or mandatory cautions but Seeing how Consistent that man was is amazing.
@@codyC423 I forget Tim Richmonds 16 RC races 5 wins and average finish of 11:63
He probably have more wins at RC than Jeff Gordon if he'd lived.
@@Dr.Strangmeme there weren’t really that many road course ringers when Bobby Allison was racing or during Rusty or Earnhardt’s prime. There would always be a few, but the real age of road course ringers was in the early 2000s when teams started to keep struggling drivers in danger of missing the field at home, and instead hire a ringer for the weekend to make sure they made the race and picked up some owners points, this was even more the case after 2005 when the top 35 rule came in as teams without a guaranteed start would hire ringers to get them in the show, while teams barely ahead of the cutoff would also hire ringer to give them more of a cushion. Also sometimes rookie drivers would be replaced by a ringer so they could concentrate on perfecting the oval tracks.
This all fell apart with the financial crisis as a lot of teams folded and the only teams left battling for the top 35 were underfunded or even start and park teams, thus the ringers usually ended up in these cars from 2009 onwards. The Cup drivers also got much better at road racing, so even on the odd occasion that a road course ringer is in good equipment they still rarely are able to contend for the win
Boris is a legend. Dude's one of the best to ever wheel a race car and here he is starstruck by the Intimidator. That's cool as hell.
I’ve always liked Boris, but now I love him. And I love The Intimidator more too. Just two rad dudes being awesome dudes.
Just a friend making a couple of PB&J’s because the other friend sarcastically asked for a PB&J No Crust
You can see his nerves coming back all over again telling the last story. Pretty awesome.
Damn I never realized how cool of a guy Boris is. Great show jr and mike. As always legendary guests. I sometimes imagine some of the fantasy conversations you could have with some the drivers that have past away over the years. Can you imagine how wonderful a davey allison conversation or a conversation with Alan kulwicki would be or seeing jr have his dad and Neil bonnett on together for the podcast in an alternate reality where davey took a car to talladega to see neil practice instead of the helicopter, and Alan stayed home sick instead of getting on that plane and Neil bonnett was able to find satisfaction in retirement and Dale sr ran out of gas before the last lap of the 2001 daytona 500, damn I can only imagine what Sr would think of all the technology that exists today and hear his thoughts on social media. But things happen for reasons unknown. 2 awesome episodes to start the season can’t wait to see what’s next.
OMG!!! That WAS FREAKING AWESOME……!!!!! Boris is as good at telling a story as he is at driving
One of the greatest viewpoints of Dale Earnhardt I've ever heard. It's like how a fan would react if they were in the same position.
Boris Said is one of my favorites ever. Said hi to him at COTA today and he responded. Such a class act…meant a lot to me.
I always thought Boris was a good dude and he didn't disappoint me!!
Boris said to Dale Sr. make me a peanut butter and jelly, and he did.Could you imagine being served a sandwich by Dale Sr. Priceless memory. As always great stories, thanks Dirty Mo !!!
I always enjoyed watching Boris Said driving anything anywhere. He was a wizard on road courses. It was great to hear him talk about Sr. and getting to drive the #3. What a dream come true.
Boris is a funny guy but at the same time he will tell you what he thinks no matter what. We need more like him. Great show.
Found myself smiling the whole time. Great stories!
What a character...... An unfiltered conversation about his interaction with Sr.
Smile never came off my face. I remember the race at Watkins Glen that he's talking about. There were a huge bunch of Said fans there with Said wigs. One of the best road course racers ever.
How great would it be to know that the great Dale Earnhardt made you a peanut butter sandwich and had you drive his car. Great interview
How could you not love Boris Said, driver and a fan.
Man, THANK YOU Dale Jr., this channel is freakin' awesome!! The stories we get to learn about and hear are entertaining as hell... Truly priceless stuff. Boris Said is one of those guys I always found to be super interesting, being he was so NOT a 'nascar guy' in the typical sense. I kinda always guessed he might be snobby or 'sophistacated' in real life probably, but after watching this vid, I'm glad I was off base with that idea. What a cool cat- down to earth, eager to help, just a genuine nice guy. AWESOME vid, thanks to Dale Jr. and the crew for putting these vids out, very informative AND entertaining in all aspects.
That was great! I worked at No Fear and Boris was the nicest guy. Loved hearing about his experiences with you guys 👍🏼
Great story. The best part of the shows are learning who the true people are rather than the public persona. People forget that these professionals are human too.
I’ll never forget Dale Sr and his last race. My dad died on Christmas Day of 2000. Then came 2001 Daytona. Dad and I used to watch NASCAR each sunday but now I’m watching it without him. It was strange to watch that race to say the least but then when the crash happened and the announcement was made that Dale was gone it was just like the world was going to hell in a hand basket.
Cool to see this guy on the show!
I freakin love Boris, he's a riot 🤣
I used to tech inspect cars at Lime Rock. I remember Boris running a GT-1 or trans am corvette sponsored by Valley Chevrolet...he was one of the few drivers that would treat the SCCA volunteers well. He is a genuine, nice, person and was always friendly to us. Always a smile and a quick joke. And quick! It's good to see him again. I hope he is doing well.
That was really cool! Boris Said a true fan and friend of Dale Sr and Dale jr
That was a home run! That dude can tell a story for sure! Great 👍
For someone that's been following the sport since the late 80's, These history stories are priceless. If ya all ever decide to stop, make sure the torch gets passed on. This is the kind of stuff that shouldn't get forgotten. I've only been "star struck" twice in my life, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
This had me cracking up, another great interview
Always a fan of Boris Said
Omg!!! I can understand the starstruckness. Having the in demand skills for someone like Dale Sr would blow my mind too.
I knew Boris was an interesting guy but to hear the one on one interaction with Sr makes me smile and my eyes tear up.... 🥲
Need more Dale stories!!
Knocked that one out of the park Dale ...I spent some time at DEI driving showcars back in the early 2000's & wish i could have met your dad. I do remember some great stories about him from various people though. Loved the interview with Said, great job.
Always enjoyed watching him race, whatever he drove. Great show.
Boris is awesome. Dale Jr is cool as heck. These two together is a fun interview.
I haven't had the pleasure to meet DJ yet, but I've known Boris for 20 years and he is as good a dude as there is. What you see is what you get. Funny, loyal, a great racer, and a great head for business.
Any story about Earnhardt around the shop just makes me happy, don’t know why....I was a senior in HS when the true “GOAT” of all sports passed.....I don’t even come from a family that follows nascar....but Earnhardt and Junior......could listen too and listen about all day with a smile!!! Thanks jr for taking the time to even do this
Man, don't know how I missed this one but what a great piece with Boris. I knew the dude was cool but had no idea just how much. Awesome stories that would make anyone smile.
I had seen all these things, those fiery crashes but had totally forgotten all about them. Those were big deals back in the day when they happened.
Hanging in the hauler ,eating P&J with Dale Earnhardt Sr .......wow! What a great story. Dale Sr was the man no doubt but would be just a regular guy around unsuspecting people who were amazed he was even talking to them. Love these behind the scene stories.
I lost my dad many years ago. Anytime I meet up with someone who knew him and tells a story about him, just gives me so much joy. Awesome Boris! Thanks.
That was a great story telling I have ever heard of Dale Sr. I'm sure there is many more but me at the age of 69 I have always been a Big Nascar Fan and the #3 will always be my number one Car then Came Jr. In #88👍👍👍👍👍
I live in california and boris said is my favorite " drive anything" racer , I've seen him race at laguna seca many times , I live in monterey , but always enjoyed going to sears point to run nascar , he's a great guy and I hear he's running some nascar races this year , love you boris !!!!!!!!!😍😍😍
I feel bad for not realizing how cool Boris was... love these stories
Always loved Boris, great seeing him
This is such a heartwarming story. Thanks Dale Jr.
The PB&J Story is legendary!! What a moment!!
I just listened to this today. Such an awesome interview. Boris Said is a legend!!!
I was at the SCCA Runoffs crewing a car the year Boris and the Simo brothers were racing, I think 1990. They were hilarious, so very California surfer dudes. Can’t wait to listen to the podcast in full!
Brings back some good memories! Wild to see Boris again....great show Dale!
OMG I've never laughed so hard in my life on your show Jr. My stomach hurts. I hope like hell there is a Said part 2!
I'm from So Cal, a stones throw from Carlsbad. Boris is a great guy, so talented in a car, any kind of car ... so glad to see him on your show!! He's come a LONG way since the No Fear days.
Love it!!!! Love hearing stories about Dale Sr. So missed!!!!! Everyone has great memories!!!! Great job on these Jr.
Just imagine the amount of story Racing in general has to tell… there’s so much unknown it’s crazy. Dale Jr doing the lords work
When Boris came out to Australia to race at Bathurst, he was always great value.
Boris is a legend. Awesome to see him again. He looks like he's enjoying life!
Did not know he was a fellow CT guy. Very cool. I love how your Dad was everybody’s hero….everybody’s
I could listen to his stories all day…great segment!
Not to be missed. This is Top 5, if not podium. It's guys like Boris and Dale that keep me a race fan.
This show just keeps getting better and better
That was great Dale! 21 yrs on I miss your Dad still. Thanks!
Great interview 👍 Boris tells a damn fine story 😂 Hell of a talented driver 🏁
HOLY COW THAT WAS VERY INCREDIBLE THAT BORIS TOLD SR. TO MAKE HIM A PBJ AND C,THE C. OFF SR, WAS LIKE DOWN HOME FOLK. THANKS BORIS & JR. FOR 368 I LOVED IT!
How cool are those memories! Genuine feelings👍
Boris is a class act! Great guy too. Thank you for sharing.
That was by far my favorite story of Dale Sr.
These stories are amazing I remember watching the cup series with my older brother when I was around 7-8 years old back in 03-04 and never really understanding just thinking it was cool to watch dale jr and now become engulfed in the nascar history and hearing all these stories are real captivating being able to understand now
Another great episode. This season is off to an awesome start.
Boris is a great racer, always made the road courses entertaining.
Need another hour of Boris Said.
You get one if you listen to the full podcast!
That was incredible! Never forgotten #3
Man I really didn’t expect to be interested in this interview… but I was wrong it was a good one. Boris really seems like a cool guy
Oh man! I love the PB&J with Sr. and Boris!
Second interview with Boris I've listened to he's great.. Can't wait to hear some more.. Time to go, Twins are about to start.
great story jr. I cant imagine ....
Thank you
How cool Dale!! And how awesome is it that you get to here such genuine and funny stories about your dad!! I’m pretty sure every time I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich I’m gonna laugh my butt off!!😂😂
You never disappoint, just love all this information about your Dad especially the stories that no one has heard before. Well done Dirty Moe crew and Dale Jr. Next episode please.
Great story what a treasure this show for the 3 fan ! You get the ol feeling . The feeling of the way it was .
DALE I have always been an Earnhardt fan since I grew up watching your Granddaddy Ralph race at our local dirt track"The Old Columbia Speedway" in Cayce SC every Thursday night and we were at Darlington for both races every year. It was so cool because we were ALWAYS IN THE PITS at the dirt track and at Darlington so you could mix and mingle with everybody. It's not like now where you have to know someone to get credentials to get to the pit areas. Your Granddaddy Ralph was the only driver when he pulled in and the car was unloaded, NOBODY TOUCHED IT!! IT WAS RACE READY!! Everyone else was tweaking this or that whether it was Donnie or Bobby Allison, Buck or Buddy Baker, Tiny Lund, Cale Yarborough, Lee or Richard Petty and countless others. It was the best and I wouldn't trade my upbringing at the dirt track for anything because I was under cars and under hoods when I was finally big enough to walk.. LOL.. But I want you to know that your Podcasts are top notch and absolutely PRICELESS.. BECAUSE THESE PRECIOUS STORIES ARE AMAZING AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING STORIES JUST LIKE THIS ONE WITH MR. SAID MEETING YOU AND YOUR DAD.. I'M STILL LAUGHING BECAUSE YOUR DAD WAS INTIMIDATING AND A FORCE TO RECKON WITH.. OFF THE TRACK AND ON THE TRACK . PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP DOING THIS. THESE STORIES ARE AMAZING AND A LIFELINE TO ME AND THEY ARE PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSINGS 🙏🤗 THANK YOU DALE AND THOSE WHO HELP MAKE THESE VIDEOS POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏 AND I PRAY GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU DALE ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY 🙏❤️🤗 THANKS FOR THE BLESSINGS AND THE LAUGHTER 🙏❤️🤗
That was awesome!! From the Road Course ringer him self…Said!!
He told a lot of these stories on dinner with racers podcast. Boris is a legend.
Boris sure has some great stories. He is an awesome guy. I couldn't stop laughing about the story of Dale Sr. letting him drive the #3 and him bring Boris a sandwich.
Brought me pure joy. Thanks
Boris is my kind of dude - cool
& he seems to be a nice fella on top of it
I love Boris. You put him behind the wheel of anything and give him an hour to learn and he’ll run it hard. Only other guys in that league in my opinions are Tony Stewart and Robbie Gordon.
this podcast is something Nascar should have had years ago, i love hearing these old stories even more so the ones about SR, as growing up he was my fav driver still is too (sorry JR)
I couldn't speak either when I met Dale Earnhardt and got his autograph , starstruck . I just blurted out I love you 😁 Then when he was signing my driver style jacket , I said make it nice and big so everyone can see it and he did . I was shaking all over ! We made eye contact and I couldn't move 😁💗
Boris said is so down to Earth!!
This quickly became one of my favourite episodes. Great stories, loved hearing about his early days of racing with his Mustang
That was EXCELLENT!!! Still Chuckling!!!
What a great story on the Intimidator. Great interview. I've always been a Boris fan. Loved watching him in a cup car.
Bad Ass. Boris Is A Cool Cat.
Have a pic of him in cuffs somewhere
EXCELLENT - GREAT episode :) !!!
Great stories. It's awesome to hear when drivers from other series get a chance to drive in NASCAR, they drop whatever they're doing.
Boris is an absolute Koool dude ,,,few years ago we ran into him at the NHRA race in Pomona-California awesome guy.
Damn, how cool was that! B was the road course guy for years, but I am 1000% sure I would have had the same reaction with ANY interaction with senior. Just so cool to hear Boris tell the story. Carry on Jr., love the content mate.
That was awesome to watch, about feel out of my chair laughing. Nice to hear a Sr. story that didn't end in a wreck. :)
Ya. This was an amazing interview. Sit down. Whatever you want to call it. Thanks Jr for all you do. We love the history and stories of the sport and your family.
Pure awesomeness. Boris is great at telling stories.
