Boris Said eyes full-time Cup ride

Boris Said is still waiting for his 2006 Nextel Cup plans to be finalized. After running a part-time schedule in 2005 [in the #36 Centrix Chevy for MB2 Motorsports], Said expected to run at least 12 Nextel Cup races this season. But his deal hasn't been completed other than a commitment to run two Busch Series road races for Ray Evernham. "I know I will run at least six to eight Nextel Cup races," Said said. "But I'd hate to miss the Daytona 500 and right now a package for Daytona has not been finalized." Bill Elliott will drive the #36 Chevy at Daytona in Feb. San Diego Union Tribune
