NASCAR road racing specialist Boris Said will drive the No. 83 Toyota for Red Bull Racing when the Sprint Cup visits Watkins Glen on Aug. 8.

Said has nine Cup starts at the winding circuit, finishing third there in 2005.

Said will be the fifth driver to pilot the No. 83 for Red Bull this year. Primary driver Brian Vickers left the car earlier this season after developing blood clots in his leg and near his lungs.

Reed Sorenson will drive the No. 83 this weekend at Indianapolis and at Pocono later this month.
