Todd Bodine relieved, confident after last-minute deal secures immediate future

The reigning Camping World Truck Series champion is holding fast to what he does know, however: He’ll be a participant in each of this season’s remaining Truck Series events.
Just two weeks ago, no such assurance existed.
With his Germain Racing team lacking sponsorship for eight of the 15 races that still remained, Bodine faced the grim reality of having to skip the July 16 event at Iowa Speedway, which would have marked the first time since 2004 that he had missed a Truck race.
But two days before the Iowa race, Germain and Randy Moss Motorsports officials announced a “collaborative effort” to field a truck for Bodine in that weekend’s event.
That truck – a No. 5 Toyota – is the one Bodine will drive in Friday night’s AAA Insurance 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis and for the rest of the season as Germain and Randy Moss Motorsports split the sponsorship load.
“We were going to sit some races out,” said the two-time NCWTS champion and 21-time Truck winner. “Actually we were planning on sitting eight races out because those were the eight races we didn’t have covered for sponsorship.
