Boris Said recovered from an early spin and won the Nationwide race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Sunday. This was the Said’s first Nationwide victory and his second in NASCAR.
Max Papis passed Said entering the final chicane for a split second, but Papis got a little loose entering the turn, giving Said just enough to get beside of Papis and the momentum to carry him to a .012 second margin of victory, the fifth-lowest all-time and closest since 1998 at Homestead.
Jacques Villeneuve finished third, Brad Keselowski fourth and and Paul Menard finished fifth.
Robby Gordon appeared to have race in hand if his fuel didn’t run out. During the final green-white-checkers restart he ran out of gas, dropping him to 14 position, two laps down.
Marcos Ambrose and Carl Edwards both dropped out of the race with mechanical problems.
