I have to say that I have yet to hear a commentator - American or otherwise - pronounce his surname in any other way you say "said" as the word itself is pronounced (rather than perhaps pronouncing it in a more "arabic" way).
As for his background, I dunno - I've never thought about him having an Arabic background, both considering what I mentioned above and also because he has seemed as American as any other stock-car driver (which might have something to do with him being born in California back in the 60's).
