Germain Racing adds Atlanta to Cup schedule with Todd Bodine at the wheel
Germain Racing has entered the Kobalt Tools 500 this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway in a move a top team official hopes will boost its NASCAR Sprint Cup program.
The team, which is fielding the No. 13 Toyota for Max Papis in half of the Cup races this season, will enter the No. 35 this weekend for Todd Bodine. Team general manager Mike Hillman Sr. is listed as the owner, and Randy Goss will serve as the crew chief.
The number of races the team will run with the No. 35 is still to be determined.
“We are running the [No.] 35 Camry at Atlanta to gain more data for our Cup program and help us keep looking toward the future ...,” said Hillman. “The primary focus … is to collect more data to continue to improve Germain Racing’s Cup Series program.”
