GNC Live Well 250 - Todd Bodine Notes

BODINE AND MONSTER RACING TEAM LOOKING TO CATCH COMPETITION AT THE MILWAUKEE MILE

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 25, 2003) ? The "monster" will be on the prowl this weekend as Todd Bodine and the Monster racing team will travel to West Allis, Wisconsin for the running of the GNC Live Well 250 at The Milwaukee (Wisc.) Mile. Gaining valuable points will be the top priority for the Monster Chevy, as the No. 92 team is currently chasing the 2003 NASCAR Busch Series Championship. Bodine sits in third place behind the No. 37 Timberwolf Pontiac of David Green and the No.10 Nestle Nesquik Ford of Scott Riggs.

Herzog Jackson Motorsports (HJM) has enlisted the "monster's" help in chasing down competitors for the third straight week. HJM and Monster, the leading global careers website, partnered previously at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway on June 7th and at Kentucky Speedway on June 14th.

"This team is extremely proud to have paired with such a innovative and successful company as Monster," stated team owner Randy Herzog. "They have given this team the opportunity to keep the dream of a championship alive, and for that we are extremely grateful. We feel like we've paired a first-class racing organization with a first-class company."

With a 26th place finish at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway and a 29th place finish at Kentucky Speedway, HJM is hoping to change its current run of bad luck. Bodine enters the GNC Live Well 250 at The Milwaukee (Wisc.) Mile with six starts to his credit. With one top-10 finish and an impressive five qualifying efforts inside the top-10, Bodine and team feel good about their chances at the one-mile track.

"We're heading to Milwaukee with the hopes that we can get a really good finish", said driver Todd Bodine. "The last two weeks have been pretty chaotic. First it was the fluke thing with the motor in Nashville, and then getting caught up in the wreck at Kentucky. Our team morale is still pretty high, and we're looking forward to taking the Monster Chevy to the Mile. I've had some pretty solid qualifying runs there, and finished in the top-10 once. I would love to get the car into victory lane."

HJM made its NASCAR Busch Series debut at The Milwaukee (Wisc.) Mile in July of 1999 with a then unknown driver named Jimmie Johnson. Johnson went on to finish the event in the seventh position, beginning his and HJM's rise to success in NASCAR.

"I?ve always liked racing at The Milwaukee Mile because it was the first place we started in the NASCAR Busch Series with Jimmie [Johnson]," stated Herzog. "It was Jimmie?s NASCAR debut, and he went on to a seventh place finish in the race. It was a defining moment for this race team. We knew then that we had the ability to compete at an elite level."
