Todd Martin Bodine (born February 27, 1964) is an American former professionalstock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in theNASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 62Toyota Tundra forHalmar Friesen Racing, and is currently a racing analyst forFox NASCAR. Todd is the younger brother of former racersGeoffrey andBrett Bodine. Bodine is known for his bald head, which has given him the nickname "the Onion".^[1]

Bodine would make hisBusch Series debut in 1986, for Pistone Racing atMartinsville. He qualified and finished 27th in the thirty-car field, falling out of the race early with an engine problem.

Bodine went on a three-year hiatus from the series until 1990, when he would drive eight races for the Highline Racing #42/#81 Ames-sponsored Pontiac, making his season debut at Martinsville. He started eleventh and finished in the eighth position. He then followed that up with finishes of seventh atOrange County and third atDover Downs.

In 1991, he signed to drive for Frank Cicci. In his first full season in the series, he won his first career race, one of 15 Top 10s in 1991. Bodine also won his first two poles which came "back to back" atDublin andSouth Boston. He ended the year seventh in points.

Bodine's career in Cup started atWatkins Glen International Raceway on August 9,1992 when he was 28 years old. He raced the No. 34Diet PepsiFord Thunderbird forCicci-Welliver Racing, finishing 37th. It was revealed in 2022 inThe Scene Vault Podcast, that though the listed owner was Cicci-Welliver, the car was in fact owned by, and the team of, Junie Donlavey ofDonlavey Racing. They re-numbered Junie's car as a team "rental" to further the attention of Bodine's Busch Series team. Bodine revealed in the podcast that the technicality of the listed car owner was disappointing after Donlavey's death in 2014, as Todd was not listed as one of "Junie's Army", or Junie's many Cup Series drivers, as the two were friends. His first full-time season came in1994 when he raced forButch Mock Motorsports. He raced the No. 75 Ford Thunderbird sponsored byFactory Stores. He missed one race the whole season and scored two top-fives and seven top-tens on his way to a 20th-place position in the points standings. He was unable to match those statistics in 1995 as he finished 33rd in the points with only one top-five and three top-tens. Following his release from Butch Mock, Bodine spent1996, filling in forBill Elliott in a four-race span, finishing tenth atPocono. He also drove three races apiece forDavid Blair Motorsports andAndy Petree Racing. In 1997, he filled in forRicky Craven atHendrick Motorsports atTexas and for his brother, Geoff atCharlotte Motor Speedway, before he won the pole at Watkins Glen for Cicci-Welliver in a one-race deal. He finished 35th due to engine problems in that race. Todd started races for five different teams in 1997. At Loudon, he relievedJeff Burton, who had an inner ear problem, and exited hisRoush Racing car after 68 laps.

For1998, he signed with a new team calledISM Racing. The team struggled and he was temporarily replaced byLoy Allen Jr. for thePepsi 400 in July, then after the race was delayed to October was fired by the team before the next race atNew Hampshire International Speedway.^[2] He went back to Cicci-Welliver in the Busch Series, replacing rookieMike Cope in the No. 30Slim Jim-sponsored car. He finished 33rd in points despite running 13 races and posted a string of five consecutive top-five finishes. He also ran part-time in cup forLJ Racing, posting a fifth atAtlanta.

In1999, his Cicci-Welliver team signedPhillips 66 as the sponsor, as well as switching to No. 66, and he posted ten top-fives en route to a fourth-place points finish. In addition, he ran seven races forEel River Racing at the Cup level, his best finish being fifteenth atBristol. In2000, he won a pole atTalladega as well as the race atMichigan.

He would get back into Cup racing full-time in2001 while racing the No. 66K-Mart-sponsoredFord Taurus which was owned byHaas-Carter Motorsports. Despite getting three poles, he only scored two top-fives, missed theDaytona 500, and was plagued with twelve DNFs, causing him to finish 29th in points. He also won the exhibition No-Bull Sprint, which put him into the Winston at Lowe's Motor Speedway. He also ran half the schedule in the Busch Series, winning two of the first three races of the season withBuckshot Racing, before ending the season driving forFitz Motorsports. He started2002 with the 66, but lost his ride after Kmart filed for bankruptcy. He signed on toHerzog Motorsports replacingAndy Houston after Andy was released due to "performance issues". Bodine won theKroger 300 at Kentucky, finishing 23rd in points. During the season, he rejoined Haas-Carter whenDiscover Card became the team's primary sponsor. He garnered a fifth-place run atRichmond, and finished 38th in points.In2003, Carter partnered withSam Belnavis to field the No. 54United States National Guard-sponsored Ford for Bodine. Bodine's best finish that year was an eighth at Pocono and he finished 31st in standings. After that year, Belnavis abandoned the operation and took sponsors National Guard and Subway to Roush Racing and the Carter team closed its doors due to the lack of sponsorship. Bodine also got a win atDarlington in the Busch Series for Herzog and led the Busch Series points standings but again a lack of sponsorship forced his team to close. He ended the season atInnovative Motorsports. He split2004 betweenMach 1 Racing,Arnold Motorsports, andR&J Racing, his best finish a 23rd at Bristol. He ran five Busch races forGIC-Mixon Motorsports andMarsh Racing, finishing fifth at Homestead.

Bodine made his Craftsman Truck Series debut in 1995 driving forRoush Racing's No. 61 Ford for five races. In his debut, Bodine qualified 3rd on the road course atHeartland Park Topeka, and finished fourth. His worst finish was atMesa Marin Raceway, where he finished eighth an eighth place, earned his best start of second, and led his first career lap.

Bodine did not run the Trucks again until2004, when he competed forFiddleback Racing at Charlotte, finishing 20th and also ran forHT Motorsports's No. 59 Dodge atKansas, scoring a 15th place finish. Later, he signed with the newGermain-Arnold Racing team, finishing fourth in their debut atRichmond. After losing inVegas toShane Hmiel, Bodine won his first two career races back-to-back atFontana andTexas. Competing in ten events, Bodine averaged a thirteenth place finish in his events, despite falling out of three with mechanical issues. Neither Bodine norcrew chiefMike Hillman Jr. was happy with contract issues and the team leadership. So Bodine parted ways with the team and went back to Fiddleback Racing, where he would drive in2005. Bodine was able to earn four top-tens with the team in ten starts, but inconsistency was weighing him down to 8th place in points. Fiddleback also had no funding and after a ninth place atMichigan the team was disbanded.

Germain-Arnold signed to have him come back. He won in his second race with the team atKansas and rolled to four more victories, including three straight at the end of the season. By winning the final three races of the season, he made a serious run for the title. With four races remaining in the season Todd was fourth in the standings, 256 points behind leaderTed Musgrave. With Bodine's three wins, he was able to gain one spot to third and an entire 183 points on Musgrave to finish only 73 points behind.

In2006, Bodine was once again behind the wheel of the No. 30Lumber LiquidatorsToyota. Bodine won atAtlanta,Gateway, andTexas. Bodine won the 2006 Craftsman Truck Series championship on November 17, 2006, by 122 points overJohnny Benson Jr, with three wins, twelve top fives, sixteen top tens, a pole at Atlanta, an average finish of 8.4, and zero DNFs;^[3] it was Bodine's and Toyota's first-ever championship in any division. Starting in 2009 Lumber Liquidators left the No. 30 truck, whileCopart came along to become the sponsor for the season, while still driving forGermain Racing.

In 2010, Bodine stayed consistent all season long to capture the championship title. Driving for Germain Racing, Bodine won four races, and picked up seventeen top-fives and twenty top-tens, along with two poles at Nashville and Chicagoland, and an average finish of 6.4.^[4] The consistency had caused him to clinch the championship with one race to go in the season.^[5]

For 2011, Bodine struggled with consistency, as he suffered bad luck in most of the first ten races. In spite of the team's success, sponsorship had been a constant issue for the No. 30 team since as far back as 2005; in 2011, they managed to run ten races with limited sponsorship. However, after Kentucky, Germain was unable to send the 30 team to Iowa without a sponsor. The week before the race at Iowa, Germain partnered withRandy Moss Motorsports to put Bodine in their No. 5 truck for the rest of 2011. Although his results improved in the No. 5 team, Bodine went winless in 2011 (his best finish being a third at Bristol) and subsequently left Germain when the team decided to put its focus on the Sprint Cup Series.

In 2012, Bodine was picked up byRed Horse Racing to run a full schedule.^[6] Bodine would run subsequent races with ToyotaCare sponsorship, and won the sixth race of the season, atDover International Speedway, in a rain-shortened event.^[7]

Bodine started the 2013 season driving forThorSport Racing at Daytona International Speedway, finishing eleventh. He followed it up with another eleventh in the following race atMartinsville Speedway and ran the next six races for ThorSport before departing from the team following the race atTexas Motor Speedway. Four weeks later, he made what would be his last start for nine years in theCamping World Truck Series atPocono, driving the No. 30 truck forTurner Scott Motorsports. He finished eleventh.

Bodine ran a total of eightNationwide Series races from 2014 to 2017 forSS-Green Light Racing andDGM Racing, his best finish being a nineteenth atWatkins Glen International in 2015. He ran his final race atCharlotte Motor Speedway in 2017 and finished 30th. After five seasons away from the track, 2022 saw an offer from Camping World CEOMarcus Lemonis to sponsor Bodine for six races in the truck series to get Bodine to eight-hundred overall starts inNASCAR. Bodine was confirmed to make a return to the Camping World Truck Series for six races. He drove forHalmar Friesen Racing in the No. 62 Toyota Tundra.^[8] Bodine's first attempt was atLas Vegas. Bodine has said that this would serve as his farewell tour, known as "The Onion's Last Ride".^[9] In July, Bodine achieved his eight-hundredth career start across NASCAR's top three series when he raced in theCRC Brakleen 150 atPocono Raceway.

Bodine currently works onFox Sports 1 as a color analyst for select Craftsman Truck Series races whenMichael Waltrip is unavailable. He also works as a pit reporter for the series.
