Bodine, who will be
making his 220th NCWTS start this weekend in Pocono, has tallied 22 wins, seven
poles, 92 Top-5 and 124 Top-10 finishes in his career. The Chemung, N.Y. native
made his first series start in its debut season of 1995, running his first
full-time season in 2005. Bodine has three previous NCWTS starts at Pocono
Raceway with two top-10 starts and two top-15 finishes to his credit. The
49-year-old also has 15 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at the Tricky Triangle,
where he's earned one pole and two Top-10 finishes.
The No. 30 truck has
competed in five previous events this season. Kyle Larson drove the No. 30
Chevrolet Silverado to TSM's first win of the season at Rockingham Speedway in
April, in addition to earning the team a runner-up finish last week at Eldora
Speedway. Ryan Truex, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Cale Gale have also been behind the
wheel for one event each in 2013.
"I am very excited
to have the opportunity to drive for Turner Scott Motorsports," said
Bodine. "It's not very often that you have the opportunity in a one-off
race situation to drive for an organization and team that has continued to have
such great success. We're very happy to have Whelen Engineering and Team Fox on
board. Owner Sonny Whelen has been a family friend for a long time and has been
a big supporter of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project and the Onion Slice Open since
day one. He knows how important the race at Pocono is to me, and when he found
out we didn't have a ride for that event, he stepped up to make it happen.
Unfortunately, he has recently developed Parkinson's disease, and has become
very involved in Team Fox for Parkinson's Research. We're very proud to have
both organizations on the truck, and I'm also very excited to be returning to
the No. 30, which has meant a lot to my career."
"We're very happy
to have two-time champion Todd Bodine behind the wheel of one of our
trucks," said team co-owner Harry Scott Jr. "Todd has been one of the
strongest competitors the Truck Series has ever seen, and he is a true example
of a series veteran. This is a big weekend for Todd with Pocono being the home
of the Onion Slice Open, and we're proud to be a part of it."
Hello mayhem...good bye truck
ReplyDeleteGreat to see both Teams and Sponsors showing interest in a 2 time champion that still can race when given the team and equipment to race in.
