Geoffrey Bodine, who signed a six-race contract with EJP Racing to drive in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year [#03], hasn’t been able to find a team interested in running him in the Feb. 7 Budweiser Shootout. Bodine is a guaranteed starter in the all-star race for Nextel Cup pole-winners from the previous year because he’s a past race winner. “Nothing has come together, and I’m surprised about that,” Bodine said Wednesday from his North Carolina home. “I don’t understand it because it’s a high visibility race for teams and sponsors. I’ve talked to a lot of team owners and no one has taken me up on the deal.” Bodine will compete in the truck series opener at Daytona on Feb. 13.(Elmira Star Gazette)(1-30-2004)
