X Games Athlete Bio:

Co-driver: John Buffum; Car: Subaru STi An at-large invitation to the rally field, Said is probably best known as a NASCAR driver. He has a reputation for being a “road course ringer” — as a classically trained road course racer, full-time NASCAR Nextel Cup teams have called upon Said to compete on the sinuous Sears Point or Watkins Glen race circuits. He has also offered road course training to such racers as Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, and Kasey Kahne. He is not a rally driver, but competed in the Race of Champions in 2003, driving an all-wheel drive car similar to that which he will drive at X Games 13. He said his technique was all wrong, but he’ll get the hang of it for this one.
