Mooresville, NC – Defending Daytona race winner Todd Bodine is very confident in his Germain Racing crew heading into this year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener. With three straight superspeedway wins and a victory in the 2008 season finale, Germain Racing’s No. 30 Tundra team has as much momentum as a team can have. What they lack, is a full-time sponsor, and they hope a strong performance again at Daytona can pull some marketing partners into the mix. The season opening Nextra Energy 250 will kick off the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. It will be the first race with a sponsor other than Craftsman since the series inception in 1995. For Chad McCumbee the race will mark a reunion with SS Green Light Racing; the 24-year old drove for the team in 31 races back in 2006 and 2007. The team has gone through a major rebuilding since that time and has very high hopes for a strong 2009. David Starr, a Houston, Texas native, will be making his 10th NASCAR start at Daytona International Speedway this weekend. He has scored three top-10 finishes in those trucks starts and led eight laps. Terry Cook will be making his 10th NASCAR Camping World Series start at Daytona International Speedway this Friday. He has scored one pole starting position, two top-five and six top-10 finishes in those trucks starts. Cook has also led 45 laps at Daytona in a truck. |
