Bodine Ready To Rock N' Roll At Nashville
07-27-2009 5:44 pm

Don't count out Todd Bodine (No. 30 Ventrilo Toyota) this weekend at Nashville.

It could be said he's got unfinished business at the 1.333-mile Tennessee track. Bodine started from the pole a year ago before ending the race in third. In four starts he has collected three top-fives and one top-10 finish there. His lowest result was eighth in 2006.

"We've definitely been close and we should have won at Nashville," he said. "We just have to put it all together to get our No. 30 Ventrilo Toyota into Victory Lane. To win at this track, you've got to have everything go right—the right strategy, right track position. Nashville is a fast track so aero is very important, and with the concrete surface, handling can play a huge part."

Like all the other competitors, Bodine wants the infamous Gibson guitar trophy.

"If you win, you get one of the most unique trophies in racing," he said.

And if he wins Saturday?

"For now, the guitar would go to Germain Racing so everyone could see it," Bodine said. "It's one of those trophies you want to display and be proud of it. After being at the shop for a while, I'd move it home and put it in my office."

That's significant. The last trophy to go home with Bodine? His 2006 series championship trophy.
