Todd Bodine says that the Germain Racing team he drove to the 2006 Craftsman Truck Series title is scaling back its Nextel Cup plans for this year. The team had planned to run the 16 “car of tomorrow” races, but the team won’t run that many, Bodine said.

“Winning the championship kind of put a kibosh on the whole program or a monkey wrench in it,” Bodine said Friday during truck testing at Daytona International Speedway. “We decided we wanted to run for the championship again in the trucks and to run as many Cup races as we wanted to probably would hurt that program. So we don’t know what we’re going to do. We don’t know what races we’re going to run. We’re going to run some. That’s about all I can tell you.”

Bodine said the first race for the team could be the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, which is not a car-of-tomorrow race.
