Concord, NC (Best E Casino) - Germain Racing and Todd Bodine, 2006 Craftsman Truck Series champions, are expected to race in at least 15 Nextel Cup events in 2007. Bodine will drive the No.03 Toyota Camry. "Since we started the team in August of 2004, our primary goal has been to be Toyota's No.1 truck team and to win them their first NASCAR championship," said owner Bob Germain. "In 2007, our goal is to successfully defend our truck championship and also be the first Toyota team to win a Nextel Cup race. With the team we have, I think it's very possible." Bodine won the 2006 truck title behind three wins and 12 top-5s. He beat veteran Johnny Benson by 127 points. The Chemung, NY native has made 228 Nextel Cup starts with a best finish of third in 1994 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
