Geoffrey hopes for a full run in 2003: Count Geoffrey Bodine among those looking for a full-time ride in Winston Cup next season, but he said no one should be worried he’s going to try to take someone else’s job. “I’m not trying to get any ride that’s sitting out there today,” said Bodine, who has run several races this season for car owners James Finch and Travis Carter. “I’m not trying to knock anyone out of their seat or influence any owner that’s here.” We have our own program we’re working on. Now, if somebody comes along and says, ‘Hey, we’d like to have you drive the car,’ I’d have to talk to them, but hopefully, I won’t have to do that.” Bodine said he hoped to put a program together for 2003 with Finch or Carter. His best finish this season was third at the season opening Daytona 500 in a Finch-owned car. “As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have anything to prove to anybody. Results are proof enough,” he said. “We’ve had some good ones this year already in the limited schedule that we’ve run.”(ThatsRacin.com)(7-27-2002)
