In a nod to the U.S. Olympic bobsled medalists and his pastime, NASCAR veteran Geoffrey Bodine will compete in the E-Z-GO 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the #95 Bo-Dyn Bobsled paint scheme featuring the U.S. Olympic bobsled medalists, including Douglasville, Georgias Elana Meyers who won a bronze medal. A Bo-Dyn Bobsled will be on display in front of the Fan Stage in the Display Lot and the vehicle will arrive at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Wednesday, March 3. Bodine said: ‘We were going to put Bo-Dyn Bobsleds on the truck no matter what, but now that weve had success in the Olympics were going to put the names of the athletes that won the medal on the truck and it should look good.’Â On the importance of Bo-Dyn Bobsleds: ‘If I hadnt gotten involved in 1992 in the American bobsled program, people have told me many times there would not be an American bobsled program. They were out of money, out of equipment, and out of help. So yeah, I feel proud that we kept it going and ended up with a Gold medal in these games. Im real proud. I love our country and this is another way for me to show that.’Â On his emotions at the bottom of the run prior to the Gold medal attempt: ‘Standing there [at the bottom of the hill], I realized a long time ago theres no point to bite your finger nails and be nervous, so I was just standing there pretty cool and calm. But part of the calmness came from the confidence I had in the team because they had been so consistent all week there. I had that confidence in their ability and, of course, Im racer and I know one slip can mess you up.’Â(AMS), more info and see an image of the cool looking truck on the Jayski Camping World Truck Series site.(3-2-2010)
