Talladega: Todd Bodine NASCAR Truck Race Quotes - P3
TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing Finishing Position: 3rd
Are you disappointed with a third-place finish?
"We got used to winning for sure. We made the right move – we had a great truck and made the right move at the end and got the lead. We just didn’t have a teammate. Kyle (Busch) had his teammate right behind him. I could have blocked him coming to the checkers, but I didn’t want to be like Carl Edwards and end up in the catch fence. With Kyle (Busch), that’s what would have happened – he’s a racer and you can’t blame him for that. It was a great day for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a one-two finish. Our Germain Copart Tundra was fast, it was again the best truck and it drove fantastic. We just ended up third. There’s nothing you can do but be happy with it and we had a good day."

Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?
"This is my one chance to speak so I’m going to speak a little bit here. They need to do something with the Cup cars, the Nationwide cars and the trucks with the bump drafting – everybody knows it, everybody said it. It’s getting out of control with the Cup cars with guys hitting each other in the corners, spinning each other out. It’s a simple solution – brace the back bumpers up as hard as you can brace them. You ought to see the back bumper in my truck – it’s like a Mack Truck bumper. The next thing you do is you take the bumper out of the front so if you hit somebody, you hit them with fiberglass. I’m not going to hit somebody with fiberglass and mess my aerodynamics up so what’s that do? It stops everybody from bump drafting, it’s a simple solution."
