Well, Bobby Hamilton Jr. is not running in Mexico, which results in him not being a Nationwide Series regular, in my opinion. I have known this for a month and had been hoping Bobby would get another ride. But it hasn't happened.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 19, 2008) -- Team Rensi Motorsports announced today the signing of Boris Said to pilot the No. 25 No Fear Energy / Smithfield Foods Ford Fusion for the two NASCAR Nationwide Series international races -- in Mexico City (April 20) and Montreal (Aug. 2).
So it is time to change horses.
This week, the Germain Racing team heads south of the border to Mexico City, Mexico, for NASCAR’S first road course race of the 2008 season. Mike Wallace and the #7 GEICO Camry will hit the track at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for their first practice on Friday, April 19th, at 2:00 PM (ET). Final practice is also on Friday at 4:05 PM (ET), followed by qualifying on Saturday afternoon at 11:35 AM (ET). The Corona 200 is on Sunday, April 20th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 1:30 PM (ET), while the Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.
Falcons...I am surprised Bobby is losing the ride for Boris, obviously Boris will do well but I thought Bobby wasnt that bad on road courses. Did he volunteer to get out of the car for the good of the company??
Team Rensi never had sponsorship for the full year. Apparently Said was able to bring No Fear to Rensi for the road courses filling in at least part o####ap in the revenue stream that needed to be filled.

Plus, you have to give them credit for getting someone really good in the car to stay in the top-35 in owners points. They are 19th now, but missing a couple of races wouldn't be helping them out any.
I understand the reasoning and can't argue with it. I just think it is sad for Bobby. Oh well, he had an excellent Busch year in 2003. That was fun to follow. And I have those diecasts to keep and remember him by.
