Boris Said will be returning to Montreal to defend his 2010 Nationwide victory next weekend.

Said, who held off Max Papis and Jacques Villeneuve for the win last year, will be Jason Leffler’s teammate at Turner Motorsports in the No. 30 Chevrolet Impala.

In four starts at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Said has recorded two top-five finishes. In 22 Nationwide Series starts over nine years, he has brought home one win, six top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

"I am excited to go back to Montreal and defend my win with Turner Motorsports. They are a great organization that has proven they can win. They have some of the best equipment on the track and with Hendrick power under the hood I know we are going to have a fast Great Clips Chevy," Said commented.

Said is another solid addition to Turner Motorsports' stacked driver line-up. In 22 starts this season, the powerhouse Nationwide Series team has racked up three wins, 19 top-five and 45 top-10 finishes between its four teams.

Team owner, Steve Turner, couldn't be more proud of his team and is excited about welcoming Said to the seat of the No. 30 Chevrolet.

"Boris Said is an accomplished road course racer and proven winner. I couldn't be happier about having the chance to put him in one of our cars," said Turner.

"Our organization has had a successful year thus far and we look forward to furthering that success with Boris [in Montreal]."
