Met The Bodines
Eli Bodine (Todd, Brett, and Geoff's dad) owned/operated Chemung Speedrome back in the day. The whole family is from Chemung, NY. Not sure where the "originally from Bellingham, MA" stuff came from, although I'm sure they could have been living in different areas while their racing careers developed. :
