RCM / No Fear Pushes Back Debut, Plans to run Infineon: This weekend was supposed to be the debut of Sprint Cups newest team, the #60 Ford for RCM / No Fear Racing driven by Boris Said. But a change in philosophy has pushed back the debut of the organization until Infineon in June.”I learned an important lesson in this sport that I should have known as a new owner,” said RCM / No Fear CEO Rick Clark.”My enthusiasm to debut the team is a lesson in patience that I should have learned playing college football and in the NFL. I would much rather make mistakes before we get to the track as opposed to on the track, and I dont want to put Boris in a situation that we were not ready for. So, the decision was made, as much as I was eager, to debut the team at a track where were capable of contending for the win. I know there will be speculation as to why we didnt run, but rather than burn up money Id rather burn up rubber when the time is right. Ive been waiting for five years, and I sure as heck can wait three more months to take a chance at Victory Lane.” Clark said announcements on specific sponsors and programs will be forthcoming for the June event. Said has attempted only one race in 2009 to date, failing to qualify for the Daytona 500 after wrecking out of his Gatorade Duel. Following Infineon, the team still plans to run a limited schedule of races in 2009 before plans to move up to full-time competition in 2010.(Frontstretch)(3-6-2009)
