Bodine Survives Wild Craftsman Truck Race

Check out all of the NASCAR Fanhouse Daytona Speedweeks Coverage.
On Sunday, stop by for the live blog of the 50th Daytona 500 at 3:00pm/ET.


In a race that saw at least 12 of the 36 trucks entered in Friday night's Chevy Silverado 250 wrecked in the first 25 laps, Todd Bodine managed to dodge everything and win his first career race at Daytona International Speedway.

Bodine, driving the No. 30 Germain Racing Toyota, held off Kyle Busch and Johnny Benson for the win.

Busch nearly didn't finish after a big wreck on lap 19 took out several pre-race favorites, including Mike Skinner and Ted Musgrave. Watch below as P.J. Jones, the first driver to ever win a Craftsman Truck Series race in 1996, erupts in a fireball amid the carnage on the backstretch.



Jones was treated and released from the infield care center.

A majority of drivers interviewed blamed Kyle Busch for driving erratically too early in the race and causing the wreck.

McMurray on Pole and Other Lineup Oddities

Jamie McMurray starts on the pole today. That's only happened twice before in his five-year Nextel Cup career, the last time at the 2005 Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway on July 24, 2005. He finished 11th. His first Bud Pole Award came at Homestead in 2004 where he finished 9th.

Robby Gordon will start 2nd in the Toyota/SaveMart 350. Last time he started that high in the field was here in 2003. He won. He owes TGOM a thank you. Because he was excluded from the power rankings, he has a shot at repeating.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. starts 3rd. Previously, his best start at Infineon Raceway came in 2005, which didn't work out too well for him. He started 10th, finished 42nd.
