The two-time Truck Series champion was left without a ride for 2012 after the Germain Racing team he drove for since 2004 closed down its Truck team in December due to lack of sponsorship.

Bodine, of Mooresville, N.C., said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s Tradin Paint on Tuesday that the team is committed to running him for the full season if it can secure the sponsorship. Bodine said they have a sponsor for the Daytona race and an announcement will be made soon.

Bodine finished sixth in the series in 2011. The 21-race Truck Series winner won titles in 2006 and 2010.

Justin Lofton Charity Golf Tournament

“The support that we got this year meant a lot. I am so glad to be able to provide more for the kids at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley,” Lofton said. “I can’t thank everyone enough for their involvement. Whether it was playing in the tournament, sponsoring a tee, bidding on an auction item – it all means more for those kids, and to be able to help them is a great thing.”

Lofton, who is from nearby Westmorland, California, chose to host the event near his hometown so that the community could be more involved. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley was his charity of choice for the event, and is located just miles from the golf course.

Currently, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley serve over 600 Imperial Valley youth, providing kids a safe, supervised, and affordable place to go every day after school. Nearly 200 kids are greeted daily by caring adult staff and participate in character-building, educational and recreational programs all while making friends and having fun. Concentrating on youth who need the most support, the Club provides programs in four key areas: health and fitness, education, the arts, and most importantly, in character development.

Justin Lofton With The Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley

Activities began for Lofton on Friday afternoon when he made a stop to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley. Lofton talked with the kids, took photos, signed autographs, passed around his fire suit, and let them get an up close look at his No. 6 College Complete (www.collegecomplete.comTo) Chevrolet.

On Saturday, the golfers split into teams and teed off for the tournament at the Del Rio Country Club. Trevor Tagg, Garret Fargo, and Joe Iten made up the winning team.

That evening, the fun moved to the Stockmen’s Club for the awards ceremony, dinner, auctions, and concert with Curb Records recording artist Tim Dugger. The event included a silent auction, and a live auction consisting of donated items from fellow drivers and teams from off road, drag racing, and NASCAR. The highest items during the live auction included a race worn fire suit, donated by two-time NCWTS champion Todd Bodine, an electric bike, space on Lofton’s truck during the season-opener at Daytona, and a Lofton race worn helmet signed by Lofton, five-time Sprint Cup Series champ Jimmie Johnson, four-time NSCS champ Jeff Gordon, three-time NSCS champ Tony Stewart, and many others. The helmet was the highest bid upon item of the evening, which went for $3,100.00.

The total amount raised for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Imperial Valley will be determined over the next few weeks, as final auction items are picked up and donations are counted.

Truck owner and Grandfather Richard Childress (L) celebrates the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship with grandson Austin Dillon (R) at Homestead-Miami Speedway (Photo Credit: RCR)

The accomplishment marks the second NCWTS championship for RCR, who earned the inaugural NCWTS series championship in 1995 with Mike Skinner, also in a No. 3 Chevrolet. The 42-year-old racing organization, headed by Dillon’s grandfather Richard Childress, now has 14 motorsports championships overall, spread across the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, NCWTS and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.

“It’s so special when you’re family,” said patriarch and team owner Richard Childress. “Our whole family is involved, and I remember the very first championship with Dale Earnhardt. I had the same feeling tonight watching Austin, my grandson. It’s just so special to have the family and know how hard all of them worked. Danny Stockman (crew chief), Bass Pro Shops, everybody on the No. 3 team did so much to help put it together. Austin kept it together so good under the pressure. For a 21-year-old guy, man, to be able to hang in there and do what he did was very special.”

Dillon, the 2010 NCWTS Rookie of the Year, becomes the first driver in the 11-year history of the NCWTS to earn the rookie title and then the driving championship the subsequent year. He also holds the honor of youngest champion to be crowned in the series’ history. Along with Ty Dillon, the 2011 ARCA Racing Series champion, the Dillon’s are the only brothers who have earned same-year championships on a national stock car tour.

“We definitely worked hard this year and accomplished this as a team,” said Dillon. “This was our goal at the beginning of the year and no one ever gave up. Danny Stockman and every member of the Bass Pro Shops team worked nonstop. We rebounded from so many little mistakes and unfortunate incidents this year-the hood flipping up at Kentucky Speedway, for example. It’s the way you react to the undesirable situations that show what a championship team is made of, and these guys reacted in all the right ways. This championship means so much to me and I’m thrilled to be able to represent my family, Richard Childress Racing, Bass Pro Shops and NASCAR as a champion.”

En route to the 2011 title, Dillon and his Danny Stockman-led Bass Pro Shops team celebrated in Victory Lane at Nashville Superspeedway and Chicagoland Speedway, posting an impressive five pole awards among 10 top-five and 16 top-10 finishes in 25 races. Dillon finished second on four separate occasions.

At 29-years-old, the 2011 championship marks crew chief Stockman’s first in only his second year as a crew chief. Prior to joining RCR in December 2009, he earned two championships (’07 and ’09) in the NCWTS as a truck chief at Kevin Harvick, Inc.

“Like Austin said, the last restart was quite gut wrenching,” added Stockman. “Just awesome to be a part of this deal with Richard, Mike, Austin and Tina, and everybody that just let me have this opportunity to be a part of it. Austin Dillon is just a great up-and-coming race car driver. I am just really happy to be a part of it. We have a heck of a good race team, and just got to thank everybody back at the shop for all their hard work.”

The nation’s No. 1 outdoor retail leader, Bass Pro Shops, was positioned as the primary partner on Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet for the duration of the 2010 and 2011 race seasons. A long-time RCR supporter, Bass Pro Shops began its association with Richard Childress Racing in 1998 with associate sponsorship of the No. 3 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo made famous by seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt. Bass Pro Shops’ partnership with RCR has also included sponsorship of the No. 29 Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick and primary sponsorship of Earnhardt’s eldest son, Kerry Earnhardt, in RCR’s No. 33 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet for six Sprint Cup Series races in 2004. The company sponsored Ty Dillon for his season-finale race in the ARCA Racing Series this year.

“Congratulations to Austin from all of us at Bass Pro Shops, Tracker Marine and all our Tracker independent dealers,” said Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris. “Austin is a fine young man who loves racing, loves the outdoors and has a great future ahead of him. What a proud moment for Austin’s grandparents Richard and Judy Childress and his mom and dad Mike and Tina Dillon.”

Dillon joins an exclusive list of NCWTS driving champions, including Todd Bodine, Ron Hornaday, Jr., Johnny Benson, Ted Musgrave, Bobby Hamilton, Travis Kvapil, Mike Bliss, Jack Sprague, Greg Biffle and Mike Skinner. He will be formally honored at the annual NNS and NCWTS Awards Banquet at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel on Monday, Nov. 21. SPEED will broadcast the banquet on Friday, Dec. 2 from 7-9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Homestead-Miami Speedway – November 18, 2011

- Denny Hamlin (second) was the highest finishing Toyota driver in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

- Hamlin finished runner-up to race-winner Johnny Sauter in an event that was shortened to 119 laps (from 134) due to rain.

- In his most recent start in the Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) No. 18 Tundra, Hamlin picked up the victory at Martinsville Speedway (Oct. 29).

- Timothy Peters (eighth) also registered a top-10 finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

- Other Tundra drivers in the field included David Starr (11th), Dusty Davis (15th), Todd Bodine (16th), Brendan Gaughan (20th), Max Papis (21st), German Quiroga (26th), Miguel Paludo (32nd) and Johnny Chapman (36th).

- The race at Homestead-Miami Speedway marked the 200th race in the NCWTS for the Tundra.

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 18 Dollar General / DIRECTV Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 2nd

Are you happy with your second-place finish?

“Yeah, it was good. We didn’t practice that well with the Dollar General Toyota, and we just weren’t all that great during the course of the race. But we did get better as we went, and obviously the last run I was just trying to be patient. I knew I had a truck that could get around Johnny (Sauter), but I just wanted to be patient and wait until later stages of the race, and also to ensure that we kept the third-place guy behind us and tried to use the draft. Strategy didn’t work out. It probably cost us a win today, but they told me one lap before the rain came that it looks like rain is coming, so if I got anything, I’d better go. That was my last-ditch effort on the corner to try to get around him. He slid up and got into us and we got in the wall, and it was one of those things. We were not in a position to really race him that hard anyway.”

How slippery was the race track in turns 3 and 4 when you tried to make the move on Johnny Sauter?

“I didn’t think it was too bad, it seemed, relative to what we had before. But he (Johnny Sauter) slipped up quite a bit, so he was the first one to evidently get to any moisture that was there. I had already committed to run really wide open on the outside — whatever happens, happens. For us, I didn’t think it was that much different. You know, he would probably be a better guess for that. But it was coming down. You could definitely see as soon as we let off the caution it was pouring pretty bad.”

How difficult was the track at the start of the race and what does it mean for the Cup cars if there is more rain?

“It wasn’t too bad. It was relatively similar to what we had in practice because we kept practicing on green surfaces — not much changed. Every time we’d run our practice session, rain would come, so every new practice session was on a green race track. So, I t hink the Cup cars kind of having a clean slate tomorrow should be relatively fine. I thought the track was very consistent from day to night.”

Would you consider doing any additional Truck Series races next year?

“Maybe a few. It definitely wouldn’t be on a triple weekend or anything like that. But I always try to do just one a year. But yeah, I mean, driving these trucks that KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports) has just been really good. Those guys put together some awesome race trucks, and I sit in it and I look around and it’s as good as what my Cup car looks like on the inside. They put together some really nice trucks, and obviously they’ve given me, the two times I’ve been in it, two chances to win. Yeah, maybe three or four or something like that, but as long as the schedule all works out. Ain’t going to be on a weekend like this.”

Todd Bodine

One year after winning his second Camping World Truck Series championship, the Chemung native lies sixth in the standings, without a victory, heading into Friday’s season finale Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

With sponsorship tight for 2012, the 47-year-old faces an uncertain future.

Bodine was dominant in 2010, earning four wins and 17 top-5 finishes with his No. 30 Germain Racing Toyota Tundra. With 24 of 25 races complete in 2011, the youngest of the three racing brothers — along with Geoff and Brett — has five top-5s.

Perhaps more telling of Bodine’s lack of competitiveness is the 40 laps he has led this year compared to 479 in 2010.

Any thoughts of a repeat title was erased early on when Bodine scored one top-five in the first seven races. He was mired outside the top 10 in points for much of the first half of the season thanks to equipment that let him down and some bad luck.

This Week’s Tundra… The No. 5 International Trucks/Monaco RVs team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine will utilize TRD-092 in Friday’s 134-lap NCWTS race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Chassis TRD-092 is a freshly rebuilt truck from the Germain Racing stable, and Mike Hillman Jr. will once again be atop the pit box calling the shots for the defending series champion as this marks the 15th race of a collaborative effort between Germain Racing and Randy Moss Motorsports to field the No. 5 Tundra. Bodine has finished no worse than 13th in those 14 previous races, with an average finish of 8.9.

Track Stats… Bodine is the only repeat winner at HMS in the series’ 15 races, leading all active drivers with two wins his seventh and 15th of 21 career Camping World Truck Series victories. Bodine has also accrued the most points of any driver in the three previous truck series races at HMS (510 points). In total, Bodine has four top-five and four top-10 finishes in six NCWTS starts at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In addition to his Truck Series statistics, Bodine has 12 Nationwide Series starts and four Cup Series starts at HMS.

Closing the Gap… Bodine has not finished outside of the top four in the final truck series point standings since he began competing full-time in the series in 2005. With his 12th-place finish last race at Texas Motor Speedway, Bodine maintained his sixth-place standing in the driver points and is 21 points behind fifth-place Timothy Peters and 31 points out of the top four entering the season finale at HMS.

Watch and Listen… The Ford 200 from Homestead-Miami Speedway will be broadcast live on SPEED, MRN Radio and Sirius-XM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, on Friday night.

“We plan to go to Homestead and do the best we can. We’re taking a newly rebuilt race truck and that shows we haven’t given up. We’re looking to get the best finish we can get with our International Trucks/Monaco RVs Tundra.”

“International has been a big supporter of our sport for a long time. To be able to represent them has been great. They’ve been awesome people to work with. I wish we could’ve gotten them a win by now but hopefully we can get it done this week at Homestead.”

Crew Chief Mike Hillman Jr. on setting up the race truck for Homestead-Miami Speedway:

“Setting up for Homestead, with so many available racing grooves, a lot of it is getting there and understanding which line your driver is most comfortable racing. From there, you have to make your truck handle right, and build in enough adjustments that you can adapt your truck throughout the race. We’re taking what’s really a fresh race truck to Homestead. The chassis is one we haven’t raced in a while, but we’ve done a big rebuild on it and we’re hoping it will be very fast as the International Trucks/Monaco RVs Tundra at Homestead.”

Jason White

“The mindset for me this weekend is one more, one more shot at a win. This is the last race of the season and I would like nothing more to go out on top and bring home my first NASCAR win; for myself, for my longtime sponsor, GunBroker.com and for my owner, Joe Denette. It’s been an up and down year, we have learned a lot and had some good runs, but at the end of the day, we haven’t won and to me that is how you judge the success of a season. We have been in contention a few times but something has always happened and we haven’t been able to capitalize. I want nothing more than to go to victory lane Friday night.”

“Homestead allows for great side by side racing because of it having so many grooves. As the track has aged, it’s been losing grip which makes the racing that much more exciting.”

MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 Duroline Brakes and Components Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 9th

How was your race?

“It was good, you know, top-10. Good for these guys and good for me as well for the points. I want to try to get top-15 (in points). We fought a loose truck during the race. Made adjustments, got free, got good in the middle, so next time we need to be a little bit tighter, but overall it was good.”

What happened on the final restart?

“I was saving fuel, so I tried to clean my tires before the restart, but the front ones I couldn’t. I went straight up in turn one and that hurt us a little bit, but once I got clean I went and gained two or three spots. It was a good day for us and I’m glad for a ninth-place finish here.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 NTB / Service Central, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 11th

How was your race?

“Oh, it was good right until the last lap. I hated that caution that came out there and gave us a green-white-checkered. I knew something about a little over halfway something was going on. It felt like a valve spring might have came loose on us. All in all, Triad Racing Technologies does a great job. Everybody in the pits did a great job. This Service Central National Tire and Batteries Tundra was great all night long. We have a weekend off and we’re going to work on this baby right here and take it to Homestead and the good Lord willing, maybe we can get on that stage.”

What happened on the final lap?

“She just blew up. It’s a good effort by everybody. That’s why they call it racing. We take the good with the bad.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5, Big Red Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 14th

How was your race?

“We fought like hell and I almost got by Todd (Bodine) going through (turn) three on last the restart, but it was a great battle and we learned a lot today and I’m really proud.”

Was the bottom lane the preferred line?

“It was good. It was kind of like the bottom lane was the fast lane, but to pass you had to go on the outside. Passing was very difficult, but I learned a ton tonight.”

JOHANNA LONG, No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Tundra, Panhandle Motorsports

DAVID STARR, No. 81 Zachry / NCCER / ASI Limited Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 23rd

What happened to your Tundra?

“We struggled with handling all day, but we started to get it right there at the end. I thought I was going to get a top-10, but
we just had an engine problem. It’s disappointing.”

JOHNNY CHAPMAN, No. 07 BOBBER.info / ASI Limited Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 29th

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 International Trucks / Monaco RVs Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 31st

What happened out there?

“There’s a big hole where there shouldn’t be a hole. I don’t know. On the restart, we were great, man. We went from 21st to like 11th in the first 25 laps or something. Our Tundra was fast just like we said it would be with race cars around us. We were smoking. Made a couple of adjustments right off the bat. On the restart, everything is good. Put it in first, put it in second, put it in third and all of the sudden she vibrated and ‘ka-bang.’ I don’t know what it was. Triad (Racing Technologies) does a great job for us. You never know what these things are. Could be a metal part. Could be many different things. They do a great job all year. That’s the first one I’ve had in two years now with Triad, so I’ll take that record any day.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 33rd

What happened between you and Ron Hornaday Jr.?

“Well, if you consider Ron (Hornaday Jr.) was in the championship, maybe Ron could have played it a little smarter on lap 15 and checked up a little and given room to everybody around. Obviously, if you make it a three-wide situation — I can’t go up in the dirt, you know? I’m already on the outside lane. There’s not three lanes out here right now. It’s a truck race. It’s the first race of the night here this weekend. So if I just lay over and give up everything for Ron Hornaday, that’s not Kyle Busch’s fashion. I’m out here to win a race just as much as anybody else is and when he races up on my inside, gets loose and takes me up to the fence, I ended up losing my cool. And, I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row and finally I just had
enough of it. I’m sorry it was Ron Hornaday and he’s going after a championship, but the fact of the matter is it’s just — you can’t place all the blame on one person. There was two people who got into it to begin with and there was two people that ended it.”

What happened on the race track with the incident under green and then under caution?

“Obviously it’s two guys racing for tight real estate. There’s only two lanes of race track out there right now. I’m racing for a win just as much as Ron Hornaday is and it’s lap 15. If he wants to make it three-wide with a lap car knowing that you always get loose when you’re on the inside, he got loose and got into me and knocked me up into the wall. I lost my cool, yeah, no doubt about it. I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row and I’ve had enough of it and I retaliated. It’s certainly my fault for doing that. But, if everybody wants to say Hornaday is racing for a championship and roll over, that’s not my fashion. That’s not anybody else’s fashion out here. All these race car drivers are racers to go out here and win a race and that’s what I was here to do and I got taken out of it on lap 15.”

Did you do anything wrong or do you feel like you defended yourself?

“My truck was hurt. I brushed the wall, but my truck was hurt where I don’t think we could have won after that. If you’re a guy racing for a championship, you need to be smart enough to understand that you can’t go three-wide on lap 15. Knowing how bad the trucks are when you’re on the inside of somebody, not expect to get loose. Yeah it was my fault after the fact, but who’s going to fix my truck after it wrecked in turn two the first time?”

PODIUM AT THE PAPER CLIP:

CHASE RACE SEVEN: Sunday’s NSCS race at Martinsville Speedway was the seventh of 10 races in the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup championship playoff. Camry drivers Busch and Hamlin are both competing in this year’s Chase. Busch’s 27th-place result at Martinsville dropped the Camry driver one position in the standings to seventh. Busch is now 57 points back from leader Carl Edwards. Hamlin’s fifth-place finish cut four points into the point lead — he now sits 80 points behind the leader — and he ranks 11th in the standings with three races remaining this season.

TWICE IN TEXAS: Camry driver Hamlin is the defending fall race winner at Texas Motor Speedway and his November 2010 victory completed a season sweep at the track, after he also won the April race. The speedy Texas track is one of Hamlin’s favorite facilities and the Camry driver has the second best average finish (9.3) among active drivers at Texas Motor Speedway. In 12 Texas starts, Hamlin has two wins, eight top-10 finishes and has led 131 laps.

LONE STAR LOCAL: Texas-native and 2000 NSCS champion Bobby Labonte returns to his ‘home’ track for the second time with JTG-Daugherty Racing and looks to improve on his 25th-place finish from the April race. Originally from Corpus Christi, Labonte has competed in the NSCS since 1991 and the 47-year-old racer has collected 21 victories in over 600 starts. It was recently announced that Labonte will again compete for the team in 2012 with new crew chief Todd Berrier.

WALLACE REACHES RECORD: NASCAR veteran and Camry driver Kenny Wallace will break the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) record for most career series starts at Texas Motor Speedway when he starts his 520th race. Wallace made his first start in the NNS in 1988 and has gone on to collect nine wins and 170 top-10 finishes during his lengthy NASCAR career. The St. Louis-native has also experienced a resurgence this season and ranks in the top-10 in series points for the first time in five years. Wallace’s team, RAB Racing, is the only single-car organization in the top-10 in the NNS point standings and he is currently seventh in the standings.

TRAMPLING THROUGH TEXAS: Whenever the NNS visits Texas, Busch is usually in contention for a win at the 1.5- mile track. Busch recorded five consecutive NNS victories at Texas from 2008 through 2010 and has led the most NNS circuits in track history with 1,187 laps led — more than twice as many as the next closest competitor. In 13 NNS starts in Texas, Busch has the most wins (5) at the track and has finished in the top-10 on 11 occasions.

NOTES, QUOTES & NUMBERS

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS): Since the start of the 2011 season, Toyota drivers have combined for five victories, 36 top-five results, 71 top-10 finishes and have led 2,454 laps … Denny Hamlin will join FedEx and the American Red Cross at Cross Timbers Middle School in Grapevine, Texas, on Thursday to teach children how to prepare for emergencies … FedEx will donate $10,000 to the North Texas Region of the American Red Cross and a portion of the donation will be used to build emergency kits at the event to send to areas and families in need as part of the FedEx ‘Race to Prepare’ program.

BOBBY LABONTE, No. 47 Wounded Warrior Project Toyota Camry, JTG-Daugherty Racing

Do you enjoy racing in your home state of Texas? “Texas is a great place to go. For me to go home there and — well, not really see too many people that I know because they all kind of moved to North Carolina — but see a few people that will come out to the event for us to see the race. We have a lot of good memories at Texas and always look forward to it. It’s a great track to go to. It’s a lot of fun. It’s one of those tracks that I think the age that it has on it — the racing surface and the tires that we have — it lends to really good racing usually. You go fast for qualifying, but the speeds will slow down enough in the race to make a good race out of it.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Office Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

Are you looking forward to racing at Texas? “Texas has been a great race track for me and my career. When I go there, we’re going to have a little bit more confidence in what we did than other race tracks. It’s always been a good one. I have some friends and family that live out there so it’s always a homecoming type race.”

DAVE ROGERS, crew chief, No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

How do you put Martinsville in perspective? “In life you have to go through tests and last year we were in the Chase and we had a number of tests come our way and quite frankly, we didn’t handle them that well. I think that as a team, we’ve handled a lot of tests this year really well, but none in the Chase. Now the Chase comes and we’ve been dealt a lot of tests and I’m really proud of how this team has handled it. I haven’t seen people bow their heads. I haven’t seen people complaining. I haven’t seen Kyle (Busch) get frustrated. We just go to the race track and work as hard as we can. (Martinsville) is another one of those tests and it clearly hurts any realistic shot at winning a championship this year. There’s still a chance — we won’t give up, but realistically we know it’s over. But in the end — a year from now, two years from now, 10 years from now — this will make us better people and a better race team and that’s how you go forward.”

NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS): During the 2011 season, Toyota drivers have combined for 10 wins, 35 top-five results, 78 top-10 finishes and have led 1,604 laps … Kenny Wallace (seventh) is the top Toyota driver in the NNS point standings … Brian Scott (eighth), Steve Wallace (ninth) and Michael Annett (10th) are also in the top-10 …The NNS returns to the track after two scheduled off weekends … GameStop, the primary sponsor of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Camry at Texas, is based in nearby Grapevine … As part of its NASCAR sponsorship, GameStop works with vendors to showcase a different video game at each race and ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3′ will be featured on the No. 20 Camry in Texas.

KENNY WALLACE, No. 09 G-Oil Toyota Camry, RAB Racing

How special will it be to set the NNS career starts record? “When I was a little kid growing up in Arnold, Missouri, if you would have told me that I was to be able to race in NASCAR my whole life, I would have considered that wishful thinking and a dream. My 520th Nationwide start has been a dream.”

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS): Since the start of the 2011 NCWTS season, Tundra drivers have registered nine wins, 34 top-five results, 70 top-10 finishes and have led 1,111 laps … After 23 races, Timothy Peters (fifth) is the top Toyota driver in the NCWTS points standings … Tundra drivers Todd Bodine (sixth), Brendan Gaughan (11th) and David Starr (13th) are also in the top-15 in the points … Bodine and Gaughan have the most NCWTS wins in Texas with six and four, respectively … Tundra drivers have captured nine victories at Texas Motor Speedway, the most at any track, and the Tundra is fittingly made at nearby Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Texas (TMMTX) … Located in San Antonio, TMMTX opened in 2006 and produces both the Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks, employing about 2,000 team members … Kyle Busch Motorsports’ (KBM) front tire changer, Pedro Martinez Jr., is a San Antonio-native … Ivan ‘The Ironman’ Stewart, a 10-time off-road racing champion, will attend the Texas Motor Speedway race weekend and will be giving rides at the Toyota Ride & Drive Center … Traxxas the primary sponsor of the No. 18 KBM Tundra at Texas, is based in nearby Plano, Texas … Traxxas recently released a 1/16 scale R/C replica of the No. 18 Tundra … 10-year old Gabe-Bridges Aldridge of Justin, Texas was selected as a winner in the “Riding Shotgun with Kyle Busch Motorsports” essay contest and will be featured on the No. 18 Tundra at Texas Motor Speedway.

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 International Trucks / Monaco RV Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Why have you been so successful at Texas Motor Speedway? “It’s been a few years since we’ve been really good there. If I knew what made us so good back then, I would have put in a bottle and kept it. We had a bunch of great years. The rules were way different. The teams had more ability to actually be race teams and we tested and we got great at mile-and-a-halfs. My family loves Texas. It’s always a big race for us. Probably the biggest race for my family, besides Vegas. My mother and father have a ranch about 30 miles from the race track. We do a lot in the rodeo business. ‘Tuff’ Hedeman (four-time professional bull riding champion and president of Championship Bull Riding) shows up at the race track with us and a lot of the old, famous cowboys always hang out with us. When we come to Texas, we always have a little swagger and I’d like to make it work.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5 Big Red Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Why have you been so successful at Texas Motor Speedway? “The first thing is you’ve got to have a good truck and (Mike Hillman) Jr. has always had good trucks there and we handle really well. You’ve got to have some luck too and we’ve had luck there. We had a bad carburetor and still won the race. You’ve got to have everything at Texas and we’re just good there.”

NO LIMITS, TEXAS-STYLE…RETURNING TO THE SCENE: Sauter isn’t skittish to return to Texas, scene of an unfortunate black flag which ended his Victory Lane run back in April – after leading the last 56 laps of the race. Out of his appearances with ThorSport Racing, statistically Sauter shows Texas as one of his best tracks on the circuit – starting out of the top seven only once, and finishing out of the top six only once due to the penalty. In 2010, both appearances at the fast intermediate track resulted in second-place finishes for the driver.

SHOWING HIS ‘WOLFISH’ SIDE TO TEAMMATE CRAFTON: Sauter and wife Cortney, along with the Bodine and Kyle Busch families, hosted a Halloween-themed wedding shower Monday for teammate Matt Crafton in his late model shop. The driver, known for a spry sense of humor, got to show his “wolfish” side to Crafton and fiancée Ashley Greer by dressing up as the Big Bad Wolf to wife Cortney’s Little Red Riding Hood. Straight from the driver: no comment!

CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 13 team will utilize chassis No. 039 this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Considered one of the most successful chassis in the 13 fleet, it showed its speed at Texas in the year’s spring race. Its last appearance was in September in Atlanta, where it finished 29th after contact with a competitor and tire woes.

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Sauter drove the No. 13 home to a 4th place finish at Martinsville Speedway after starting in the 4th spot for the day. Sauter led 36 laps of 200 and heavily raced in the top four most of the day. The top five finish, tenth of his 2011 season, also preserved his championship points position – but tied him at third with Ron Hornaday going into Texas.

Johnny Sauter

So what’s with the ‘Kulwicki Path to glory?’

“I’m going to use the Alan Kulwicki approach to his championship run in ’92. No one even considered him to have a chance but by the end of the day, he was champion. You can’t listen to everybody and what they say. We just have to keep racing hard. Probably some things are going to have to happen, but you never know what will happen. That’s what makes racing so great. I wouldn’t want it to be a situation where somebody’s ahead by 30. That’s just not interesting.”

So do you think it’s going to come down to Homestead, based on that answer?

“I sure hope so. That’s what I’ve been saying all year – that you can’t focus on the points, and it’s going to come down to the last race. It’s been a hairy year for a lot of us. So I’m planning on the championship being decided just like Kulwicki’s run – right there at the final race, lots of action. We’ve had top 10 finishes for the last few races and just had a little trouble in the pits last year. That’s how I want to win and how I’d want anyone to win, you’ve got to earn this.”

So you’re liking the underdog status going back into Texas?

“That’s fine with me. Most people who know me, know I don’t really want the attention. We’ve just got to get out there, lead laps, fly under the radar and execute and do our thing. Everyone is focused on Hornaday and Dillon right now, and that’s okay, they’ve both had great performances lately. To pull this off would be amazing and probably the biggest moment of my career – I can’t even imagine what it would be like. It would mean so much to all of the Sauter family, Wisconsin and North Carolina. A lot of validation there for years of racing.”

What would a win mean to you in Texas?

“It would mean a lot to my grandma! She’s 92 and lives not too far from the racetrack, and I always stay with her when I come to Texas. I spend as much time as I can with her. She’d be over the moon if I won – she was when I almost did it last year, and back in April. It would just be really special.”

Martinsville Speedway – October 29, 2011

- Denny Hamlin won Saturday afternoon’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) at Martinsville Speedway.

- Hamlin led the field twice for a total of 68 laps, including the final 14 laps.

- Hamlin became the 23rd driver in history to win races in all three of NASCAR’s national series.

- This was Hamlin’s first NCWTS victory in 12 career series starts.

- Tundra drivers Timothy Peters (eighth) and Brendan Gaughan (ninth) also recorded top-10 finishes.

- Other Tundra drivers in the field included Timothy Peters (eighth), Brendan Gaughan (ninth), Todd Bodine (11th), Max

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

What did you think of your pass to take the race lead?

“It was great. Those guys — I know they were battling for the championship, so I didn’t want to put them in three -wide at any point, but it was just a gift right there into turns one and two. Just a great battle back. That was definitely the hardest 50 laps that I’ve ever driven at this race track. I had to restart 18th. We didn’t think that was going to be the case, but still like to see it work out.”

Were you worried about starting so far back with 50 laps remaining?

“Not until 20 laps into the run and I hadn’t gone anywhere. We just had to battle and it was so tough just to get through those trucks running two and three-wide — just proud of this whole team.”

What does it mean to have won in all three national NASCAR series?

“It’s a big deal for me — more than what people probably think. When they think that we go down into these different series — Nationwide and Truck — and we’re just going down there trying to get wins. From my standpoint, it’s very, very tough. The Truck Series is more competitive now than it’s ever been so it means a lot to myself to win a Truck Series race, especially just running one a year usually. It’s just been one of those weekends where you unload and it’s pretty good. I felt like we gave these guys an off-weekend as far as adjustments and stuff. I know you can have weekends where you can
unload and you have to work you guts out to get it right. This is just one of those weekends where everything worked out great for us.”

What did you learn for tomorrow’s race?

“The track didn’t rubber up as good as what we thought it was, but the track did go through some transitions right there through the race and we’ll adjust to that accordingly.”

What does it mean to get your first NCWTS win?

“I have to thank Kyle (Busch, team owner) for letting me drive this truck. This is something that really means a lot to me to get my very first Truck Series victory. Just have to thank everyone at Toyota for helping support Kyle’s program. This is a big race for all these truck guys and to have all these fans come out to Martinsville is great.”

How does it feel to get another win at Martinsville?

“This is a great race track for us. Even back in the Late Model days — this was always a great race track for me. I knew this was going to be one of my best opportunities going forward to win a Truck race. Being teamed up with these guys. Kyle (Busch, team owner) just sent me a text about a month ago and asked if I would run this. He wanted to concentrate on the Cup car a little bit more during the Chase and he’s our (Joe Gibbs Racing) last hope for a championship. I volunteered to do it for him. Hopefully, that all pays off for that team tomorrow.”

When was your truck at its best in the race?

“Our truck was just so good on the long run. That’s really where it seemed to excel and I felt like I did a good job. I didn’t abuse my truck very early for the first five to 10 laps — as soon as I put tires on — to try to make sure I had something at the end. That’s what paid off for us the biggest. On the last restart — I just needed them to get single file so I could pick them off. I felt like our truck was so much faster at that point of the race — we had better tires and we just needed them to get single file or figure out who was going to be in front. Obviously, we had some transmission over the radio and we knew those guys were racing for points so I didn’t want to put them in a bad spot. I told them if they just moved right over and let me go then they could gladly race right behind me. That’s exactly what they did.”

ERIC PHILLIPS, crew chief, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

How was the race truck this weekend?

“It’s been pretty flawless since we unloaded. We didn’t change much. Made a little bit of an air pressure adjustment there at
the beginning of the race after watching Cup practice. Put it back the way we practiced yesterday and the thing came back to
life and was really good after that. Then the rest was just managing your tires and when to pit so you had enough tires at the
end. It kind of paid off. I got a little nervous there when we restarted 18th, but Denny (Hamlin) did a great job getting back
through there and taking care of the truck.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Gearwrench / Strutmasters Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 8th

How was your race?

“Great race — good hustle. We got eighth on the last lap. This Gearwrench Tundra — she’s used up pretty good. I love coming to Martinsville. It’s great short track racing. It’s a great day. It’s just fun.”

What happened with Brendan Gaughan at the end of the race?

“I guess he (Brendan Gaughan) just wants me to pull over for him. The 32 (Blake Feese) was wounded on the bottom and he committed high and I’m going to go up under him. He ran me down and I wasn’t going to give. If he’s mad then I guess we won’t be doing any appearances together anytime soon. I’m out here to race hard for my sponsors — this is my livelihood. We’ll go on to Texas.”

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 9th

How was your race?

“Our Toyota — I haven’t seen the loop scoring data in quite a while, but I believe our Tundra has passed more vehicles this year than probably anybody. We started 28th today and I would like to know if anybody picked up more than 19 positions. I hate qualifying at Martinsville and if I can ever just start up front at Martinsville — I think I would have just a normal day. But I can’t. I always mess up qualifying and it’s on me. I have to figure out how to qualify better here. Our Tundra went to the front. We got up there. We never got to the lead this time, but we got to the top-10. We got to the top-five. We were strong and in the end we just had older tires so we were just trying to keep that solid top-10 spot and we ended up coming home ninth.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5, NTB / Service Central Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 11th

What happened with Max Papis early in the race?

“The stuff on the race track you can deal with and you can lay it off that it’s Martinsville and that’s racing and that’s part of the game. When you’re driving down pit road and the guy keeps running in the side of you — you keep turning away from him trying not to run into each other and eventually you’re going to hit a pit crew — that’s ridiculous. I had to let off and hit the brakes. I don’t know who’s crew it was out there changing tires, but I was going to run into them since he (Max Papis) had me so low on pit road. That’s the part that I have a problem with. Endangering those guys — it’s dangerous enough on pit road. Then it snowballed from there.

After I pulled behind him, he brake-checked me and I run into him. He got me again on the race track and run into me and then off of (turn) two. He got loose, I got under him and tried to get off him, couldn’t get off him because he kept slowing down because his rear tires were off the ground. Finally, I just dumped himaround because at that point there’s no saving it. I’m going to get run into. Some of that stuff is Martinsville, some of that stuff is lack of experience racing at Martinsville.

We’ve all done those things — I’ve done those things and I’m not proud of those things. It is part of the learning process and you have to go through it. Unfortunately, we had a great Tundra. We were fast. We had a top-five truck and we thought we had the best truck we ever had at Martinsville. For a while there we got to show it and I was running good. We were biding our time and just trying to keep the wheels on it. We got out of sync
on the pit stops and that messed us up. That’s why we went down pit road with Max. From there it was everybody hitting everybody.”

What happened at the end of the race?

“We had 10th and James (Buescher) decided he was going to run out of brakes on the last corner of the last lap. We battled. We had a great truck. All that skirmish with Max (Papis) is what messed us up and messed the fenders up. The thing started pushing and then we had our hands full after that. Just trying to ride along and get a decent finish. Passed some guys clean and was racing those guys at the end clean. James decides to run through us.”

Finishing Position: 18th

What happened with Todd Bodine?

“We had just a great run and Todd (Bodine) just ruined it. It was going to be my best ever race so far in my career. It is not what you are expecting from a friend — I don’t treat my friends like that or my teammate like that. It’s just disappointing. I was not expecting that and we deserve better. When things like this happen, I guess it ruins team spirit.”

This Week’s Tundra… The No. 5 NTB / Service Central team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine will utilize GR-019 in Saturday’s 200-lap NCWTS race at Martinsville Speedway. This is the same truck that Bodine most recently drove to an eighth-place finish at New Hampshire, and it was raced to a third-place finish at Bristol in August. Mike Hillman Jr. will once again be atop the pit box calling the shots for the defending series champion as this marks the 13th race of a collaborative effort between Germain Racing and Randy Moss Motorsports to field the No. 5 Tundra. Bodine has finished no worse than 13th in those 12 previous races, with an average finish of 8.5. Bodine is racing the NTB/Service Central paint scheme for the fifth time this season (Kansas, Texas, Atlanta and Talladega).

· Track Stats… In 15 truck series starts at Martinsville, Bodine has 13 lead-lap finishes to his credit, including five top-five and eight top-10 finishes. In addition to his NCWTS stats, Bodine has one pole at Martinsville in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition (October 2001).

· Closing the Gap… With his sixth-place finish last weekend at Talladega, Bodine advanced one position to move into sixth place in the driver point standings and is now just 17 points out of the top five with three races remaining.

· Watch and Listen… The Kroger 200 from Martinsville Speedway will be broadcast live on SPEED, MRN Radio and Sirius-XM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, on Saturday afternoon. SPEED kicks off its pre-race coverage at 1:30 p.m. EDT, and MRN Radio will begin its live broadcast at 1:45 p.m. EDT on Saturday, October 29. SPEED will also carry live broadcasts of final practice on Friday afternoon (2:00 p.m. EDT) and qualifying on Saturday morning (10:40 a.m. EDT).

Todd Bodine on Martinsville Speedway:

Strategy Heading into Martinsville?

“This team’s strategy is simple. We do what it takes to win. Whatever that may be. If we can’t win, we just get the best finish we can. That’s not gonna change. Do you gamble more than if you’re in the top spots in points? Maybe a little. Maybe you do something you wouldn’t normally do. Maybe you do something different pit strategy-wise that may put you in a better position at the end. It’s hard to say. We’ll do whatever it takes to get the best result we can from our NTB/Service Central Tundra.”

Martinsville is Familiar Surroundings for Bodine…

“I’ve been to races at Martinsville for years. I’ve watched my brothers race there, I know the track owners. I went to school up the street from the track. In so many ways, Martinsville Speedway is a home track for me. There’s no question, a win there would be a big career highlight for me.”

Crew Chief Mike Hillman Jr. on Martinsville:

“Our setup on the No. 5 Tundra will be similar to what we raced in April. The biggest difference is that Goodyear is giving us a different tire than what we’ve raced there in the past. We’ll look at what we’ve got in practice and adjust on the NTB/Service Central Tundra. Our goal this weekend is pretty simple. We want to win. There probably isn’t a single other track on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series that we’ve done more testing to prepare for over the years. We’ve finished second there, we’ve finished third. This weekend, we want the win.”

Starting 19th, White got shuffled back in the opening laps of 94-lap event. Utilizing pit strategy, the series veteran moved back up to the front and maintained his position inside the top-15 for the remainder of the evening.

With less than 10 laps remaining in the event, White teamed up with the No. 5 of Todd Bodine and together, the two made a sprint to the finish. Because of that final push, White crossed the finish line in the fifth position behind race winner, Mike Wallace.

Jason White

“This race was all about having a ‘dancing partner’ and the two KHI trucks really showed everyone that tonight. I wanted to hook up with Todd (Bodine) a lot sooner, but it just never worked out. We finally got to each other with less than 10 laps to go and man were we good together. I really feel like if that last caution flag wouldn’t have come out, we really could have had it. We got a run on the high-side and we were coming, fast. It was a solid night for this GunBroker.com team; we stayed out of trouble, came home in one piece and had a solid finish. I had fun.”
