Bodine Flashbacks to the Past
There was testing goin’ on at NHIS on Monday. No, not NEXTEL Cup testing. Not even [avatar:http://cranialcavity.net/files/lab.jpg]Car of Tomorrow testing[/avatar].
This testing session was in preps for NASCAR’s Whelen Modified Tour which will hold a companion event with the Cup cars during the July 13 weekend. On hand was current NCTS points leader Todd Bodine. Bodine plans on returning to his Modified roots during the tours stop at NHIS in September.
He took the opportunity to shake down a Modified for that event and also sub for Carl Edwards who will be running the car during the July event. Pssst, don’t tell Joe Gibbs but Smoke may also run a Modified with Edwards. He shouldn’t mind though, it’s for a good cause. The body panels from the race car, as well as the firesuit worn by Stewart, will be offered in a charity auction hosted by Racing Against Cancer
