Todd Bodine has 10 NCTS wins in 32 starts driving the No. 30 Germain Racing Tundra. He also has three wins in 2006 (Texas, St. Louis and Atlanta) and three wins at Texas Motor Speedway (Fall 2004, Fall 2005 and tonight).

Todd Bodine, Germain Racing, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Tundra:
Did you think you could catch Mike Skinner?
"I didn't know what to expect. We were running him down, but if the caution didn't come out we weren't go to do anything with him. The caution came out and gave us an opportunity and that's all we needed is an opportunity.  This team is awesome every week, great trucks, great pit stops, we have everything going on now." 

Did you think you had enough time to catch up when you fell behind during the middle of the race? "That was it, amount of time. There was a long way to go and I really got held up behind some slower trucks. I didn't know if we could get there, but we were able to make it happen. To be a lap down and come back to win, I've never done that. Every week is the same thing.  Toyota gives us the stuff to do it and this team puts it together."

Mike Skinner, Bill Davis Racing, No. 5 Toyota Tundra:
Did you think you could hold Todd (Bodine) off?
"Obviously not on the last lap. Until the caution came out with six or seven (laps) to go, we were in pretty good shape. We were running lap for lap with Todd (Bodine) and felt like we had a good shot with our Tundra.  I'm pretty disappointed. I'm happy for Todd. He's a good friend of mine. I think if we had a few more laps we might have been alright. Todd had a little fresher tires than we did and that thing (Todd's truck) stuck on the outside just unbelievable. I said: 'Heck, if he can pass me on the outside he deserves this thing.' We were wide open. That's all we had with our Tundra tonight. He just had a little more grip with a couple to go."
