Taking a trip to New Hampshire Motor Speedway means taking a trip home for Chemung, NY, native Todd Bodine. Sponsor Lumber Liquidators also calls New England home as the company opened its first store in Boston and company chairman Tom Sullivan hails from the region. The No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Tundra has an average running position of 5.5 according to NASCAR's Loop Data Statistics so the familiar "bumble bee" colored race truck should be easily found at the front of the field in Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in Loudon, N.H.
"We always seem to have a pretty decent setup for the Lumber Liquidators Tundra when we get to New Hampshire. I've always run well at the track and I love New England. Racing at Loudon is like going home—I get to see all my friends racing in the Modified's. Tom Sullivan is from New England, too. It's a great trip and I hope we can make it special for Lumber Liquidators. I know they have something pretty special planned for the race fans that log on to www.LLFLOORS.com," said Bodine.
Germain Racing has been competitive at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The team has two top-five finishes in five races there.

Compare NHMS to Other Tracks..."Loudon requires more attention to chassis setup probably than any other track we race. The track is flat and the corners are very tight so getting the Lumber Liquidators Tundra to rotate the center of the corner is really critical to get a good racing result at New Hampshire."
