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."
