Los Angeles, CA -- With the second X Games Rally Car Racing competition just a week away, NASCAR standout Boris Said and Rally America PGT points leader Pat Moro have been named as the �At Large� entries for the popular extreme-sports competition.
"I've been watching rally my whole life, and I think it's one of the most exciting sports in the world," explained Said. "I'm really excited to see the track and even more excited to see the 70-foot jump I've been told about. My only regret is that I'll be doing the NASCAR Busch race in Montreal on Saturday and will miss practice, but I guess that�s why rally has the bravest co-drivers. I can't wait to get there and race."
Said will drive a 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI prepared by Vermont SportsCar, which also fields entries for Subaru Rally Team USA drivers Travis Pastrana and Ken Block. Like his NASCAR entry, Said�s rally car will be No. 60.
Rally action at X Games 13 begins with practice on Aug. 2 and 3 and concludes with the Super Special final competition on Aug. 5 at 1:30 PDT. The final will be broadcast live on ABC.
