Bio...
Youngest of the Bodine brothers, Todd was bitten by the racing bug when he was 13 years old. It happened when he went with his brother Brett to crew for him at a race in Perry, NY. Watching Brett win the race, and celebrating in victory lane, Todd finally 'got it' - he understood why the guys worked so hard getting the race cars ready for each race. Five years later, he moved to New Britain, CT, to work by day building guards for machinery at Sherri-Cup, and by night, building an SK Modified. He first raced it at age 19.

Three years later, Todd's NASCAR career began. In 1986, he drove a single Busch Series race for Tom Pistone at Martinsville Speedway. Todd was 22. At age 26, he ran in another eight races for owner Ted Conder. Those eight opened the door for a contract to drive for Frank Cicci in 1991, his first full year of NASCAR competition, driving in the Busch Series.

Bodine is now the reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion. He proudly pilots the #30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra in the Truck Series, and plans to race a Toyota Camry in the Busch Series for Germain Racing this season. His first race for Germain came in 2004 when team took him to Richmond International Raceway, in their one and only Tundra, "Sharon." He started 3rd and finished 4th. Bodine went on to capture the team's first win at California Speedway in September, 2004 and the second win in Texas that fall.

In his second full season of NCTS competition, Bodine earned the series’ championship title bringing the Bodine family, Germain Racing and Toyota their first major NASCAR championship.

Entering the 2007 season, Bodine has earned ten wins, one pole position and 30 top-five finishes in 67 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuit starts, Bodine, who has competed in the NASCAR Busch Series every year since 1990, started 2007 with 15 wins, 7 poles and 89 top-fives in the NASCAR Busch Series, and 228 NEXTEL Cup Series starts, including 7 top-five finishes.
