Todd Bodine Breaks Drought In Rain-Shortened Trucks Race At Dover
Todd Bodine breaks drought in rain-shortened trucks race at Dover
June 1, 2012
By Reid Spencer
NASCAR Wire Service
DOVER, Del. — Let it rain!
At a racetrack where a casino is an integral part of the complex, Todd Bodine gambled and won big.
Despite spinning early in Friday’s rain-shortened Lucas Oil 200, Bodine remained on the lead leap, and with a contrarian pit strategy, he worked his way into the lead. When rain forced NASCAR to call the race after 147 laps, Bodine was the winner, breaking a drought of 37 races dating to 2010.
Martin Truex Hopes For Hometrack Win At Dover
Truex Comes Home In Search Of Second Win
Southern New Jersey native Martin Truex Jr. has one win in his NASCAR Sprint Cup career, and it came five years ago at Dover in a race scheduled for June 3 but run on June 4 because of rain.
Could this be a happy anniversary?
Truex has resided firmly inside the top 10 since the second race of the season and has excelled at Dover in recent races. Truex Jr. has won two of the last three Coors Light qualifying sessions run at the track (last spring’s qualifying was rained out). He finished eighth in last year’s spring Dover race.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Continues Solid 2012 Season
Junior’s Stellar Season Continues
With yet another top-10 finish, at Charlotte – his seventh in the previous eight races – Dale Earnhardt Jr. now has nine top 10s in 2012. That’s more than any driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Earnhardt boasts another “most” statistic. He has completed all 3,888 laps this season, the only driver to do so.
Can the trend continue? Well…
Earnhardt has struggled at Dover of late, having failed to finish in the top 10 in each of the last eight Dover races. His last one, last October, he finished two laps down.
