Todd Bodine padded his points lead to 65 over Aric Almirola after winning last
Friday's race at Texas. Bodine led 97 of 167 laps, but had to hold off Johnny
Sauter and Ron Hornaday Jr. in a two-lap overtime finish to capture his
record-extending sixth victory there. He also ended a 24-race winless streak
in the Camping World Truck Series.
"To come out of [Texas] with a win for the stretch, it's awesome, but it's
just one win, it's one track and we have to go to Michigan [this] week and
beat them up there," Bodine said.
Michigan is the final race before the series' last big break of the season.
The next event after Michigan is on July 11 at Iowa. The series will then
begin a 10-week stretch.
There will be a guaranteed new race winner at Michigan. No previous winners
are on the entry list. Former series champions Ron Hornaday Jr., Mike Skinner
and Bodine, along with Kyle Busch, who returns to trucks after taking a week
off, have never driven into victory lane at Michigan. All four of those
drivers have combined for 109 victories in the series.
A Ford has won five of the previous 10 truck races at Michigan, but the
automobile manufacturer has been winless so far this season. The last victory
for Ford actually came one year ago at Michigan.
Jack Roush leads all team owners with five victories at Michigan, including
wins in the last three races with drivers Travis Kvapil, Erik Darnell and
Colin Braun. Roush has no truck entries so far this year.
Michigan has featured quick races and close finishes since the series started
competing there in 1999.
Brendan Gaughan's 2003 win at Michigan remains the fastest truck event ever
run. Gaughan averaged 154.044 m.p.h. and cruised to an 11.477 margin of
victory in a race that wrapped up in one hour, 17 minutes and 54 seconds.
Two years ago, Darnell won there in thrilling fashion. He nipped Johnny Benson
by 0.005 seconds, making it the second closest finish in series history.
Thirty-five teams are on the preliminary entry list for the VFW 200.
