Wasn't Ekstrom running in the top 10 in that car when he was indirectly part of Jeff Gordon's wrecking ball path at Sonoma? I thought it was Gordon who got into Ragan who got into Ekstrom... but I'm not positive.
Best part about that for Boris is that he's locked into the show. He can go for the pole (or top 10 qualifying position) as opposed to having to play it safe. He said he was only going to run "an 80%" lap for Sonoma qualifying.
It ought to be.

"Ekstrom has a DTM race at Nurburgring the weekend of the WG Cup race.
So he couldn't."
Not saying that Boris wasn't their first choice anyway, but I found it peculiar that it wasn't Ekstrom again after his strong showing at Infineon. Guess that's why!
Also, from an ESPN article comment:
