Texas a great spot for Bodine to notch elusive first win of season
By Jared Turner Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service Reigning NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Todd Bodine doesn’t know if he’ll return to Germain Racing next season. Bodine does know that wherever he lands for 2012, he won’t be happy with another season like 2011. With just two races left on the 25-race schedule, it’s quite plausible that the two-time truck series champion will fail to reach victory lane just one season after collecting four wins in a runaway … Read entire article »

Truck champion ‘curse’ plaguing Bodine
By Jared Turner Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service For all that went right for Todd Bodine last season in the Camping World Truck Series, about as much has already gone wrong for the reigning series champion in 2011. Bodine, seeking to become the first driver to claim consecutive truck titles, finds himself in a huge hole seven races into the season. The two-time champion has one top-10 finish, has led all of two laps and is a distant 11th in the standings. Such statistics would have been virtually unfathomable in the preseason for a driver who rolled up 20 top 10s, including four victories, en route to rendering last year’s title fight little more than a snooze-fest. But as Bodine points out, reigning truck champs don’t customarily have it easy. Case in point: 2009 champ Ron Hornaday … Read entire article »

Bodine is a 3-time Dover Winner Just Not Yet in Trucks
Mooresville, N.C. – As the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series gets ready to spend Friday the 13th at the Monster Mile, Todd Bodine and the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team are thinking of how nice it would be to finally get their chance to hang out in Dover International Speedway’s victory lane. “It would mean a lot for me to win at Dover just because I’ve always done so well there. To not have a truck win there is disappointing. I’ve run well at Dover in all three divisions and it’s always been one of my favorites. To get a win with this team would be pretty cool,” said Bodine, who earned his first NASCAR career top-five finish at the Monster Mile in 1990. Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. said that he … Read entire article »
