It’s been nearly six years since brothers Todd and Geoff Bodine have taken the green flag in the same NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. They look to do it for a sixth time in the series this week.
Todd (No. 30 Toyota) won the 2006 Atlanta 200. Geoff, who’ll drive the No. 95 Team Gill Racing Dodge, has 21 starts (the last in 2004) and a trio of second-place finishes. Bodine has spent the past several weeks at the
Winter Olympics, overseeing the fortunes of his Bo-Dyn bobsleds and the Gold Medal U.S. Bobsled team.
“It’s going to be like old times, you know?” said younger brother Todd. “He’s looking forward to it. Once a racer, always a racer. It’s giving him an opportunity to have some fun.”
Said Danny Gill, whose Dodge (numbered 46 with Dennis Setzer at the wheel) finished third at Daytona, “We have worked really hard to prepare him a piece so that his return will be a competitive one. With his record
(four NASCAR Sprint Cup top fives ) Atlanta is a perfect track for him. I think he’ll be a lot of fun to work -with and have no trouble being a contender.”
