been told that Whelen will be the primary sponsor for #30-Todd Bodine at Martinsville Speedway. The hood will display the familiar Whelen logo with “All Products Made In America” and the Whelen logo will also be on the rear quarter panels.(3-17-2009)
UPDATE: Whelen Engineering Company has stepped in to insure that Todd Bodine will race in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Martinsville Speedway. Sonny Whelen is a long-time friend of Todd and the Bodine family, and Whelen Engineering is a familiar name in auto racing. Whelen has been the title sponsor of the Whelen Modified Series for several years and also sponsored two SPEED GT cars in the 2008 season. While Whelen, who is a key sponsor of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project, will cover the hood and quarter panels of the #30 Whelen Tundra for the 250-lap race at Martinsville on March 29th, Germain Racing has the bed top and tailgate (or TV panel) available for sale for the Kroger 250 race weekend and the team is still seeking local, regional and national sponsorship in order to compete for the remainder of the season.(Germain Racing PR)(3-20-2009)
