We are hearing today that Germain Racing and reigning Truck Series champion Todd Bodine have secured sponsorship for this weekend at Iowa from International Trucks. Bodine will race on Saturday with Mike Hilman Jr. crew chiefing, but some details have yet to be worked out, including the truck’s number.
After last Friday night’s race at Kentucky Speedway, Bodine told reporters that unless a deal was in place early this week, his team wouldn’t be racing in Iowa. The team has struggled to put together regular sponsorship for Bodine since Lumber Liquidators left following the 2008 season, and they were facing the reality of parking their #30 for multiple races through the end of this season. And, it’s only been a few short weeks since driver Justin Lofton left Germain for Eddie Sharp Racing.
There is no word on if this deal with International is for the remainder of the season, or what it means for Randy Moss Motorsports, who’ve had the International sponsorship since last season. We will keep you updated as we find out more.
