No Fear Racing is a former single car Nascar Cup Series operation that competed from 2006-2008. Frank Stoddard, Boris Said and Mark Simo all were part owners of the raceteam. They were able to use the No Fear branding due to the fact Simo was one of the founders of the clothesline back in the late 1980s. Said and Stoddard were able to figure out a deal with Roush Racing to prepare Fords for the smaller raceteam. Also getting a pit crew from Roush as well.

Boris Said made all 9 starts the team would end up making over its lifespan in the Cup Series. They had some very strong runs in their few starts, scoring a top 10 finish in there debut race at Sonoma in 2006. The following week Said and No Fear Racing shocked the world when he, a road course ringer qualified on the pole at Daytona for the Cup Series summer race. The qualifying run was not a fluke as Boris led 9 of the final 12 laps on his way to finishing 4th. In 2007 they would score another top 10 finish at Sonoma once again.

By the conclusion of the 2008 Nascar Cup Series season the top 10s finishes had stopped and rain prevented the team from qualifying for a couple races. That #60 team just wasnt fast enough a couple other times. In preparation for David Ragans rookie season in the Cup Series, he made 2 attempts late in the 2006 season, DNQing both tries.
