Race car driver Geoff Bodine and Matt Bodine take their bobsled thru turn 10 of the Olympic Bobsled

Track at Lake Placid, N.Y., Friday, Jan 6, 2006. The Bodines and others were taking part in the Geoff Bodine Bobsled

Challenge to raise funds for the U.S. Olympic Team.

Todd Bodine won the first pole of the new year on Friday, and he was greeted with hisses and catcalls when he crossed the finish line. The fix wasn't on at the Chevrolet Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge. It only seemed that way. Bodine beat nine other current or former NASCAR drivers through 17 turns on the 6-year-old track at the Verizon Sports Complex on Mount Van Hoevenberg.  Read the whole Sports Illustrated Article.

These sleds are waxed with Geoffrey Bodine's Waxing Frenzy!

11/01/05 - Introduced the new Geoffrey Bodine's Waxing Frenzy! at SEMA in Las Vegas.  Many of Geoff's fans came by, bringing various forms of memorabilia and collectibles for Geoff to autograph.  Geoff and Jessie (Sales Coordinator for Waxing Frenzy!) were interviewed by Speed Freaks.

09/16/05   Waxing Frenzy! Vice-President, Rob Amos, hauled the Bo-Dyn Bobsled  to New Hampshire International Speedway.  He and Geoff met with drivers and press to promote the upcoming Bobsled Challenge in January.  They were fortunate to sign several more drivers to participate in the event.  Among the new drivers are Tony Stewart, Ken Schrader, Kyle Petty, Travis Tvapil, Deborah Renshaw, Jeff Burton, and Brendan Gaughan.

08/17/05 Geoff came to Virginia Beach to participate in a golf tournament to benefit Make-A-Wish. He and his teammates from Mohawk Marketing finished in second place!

08/12/05 Rob met Geoff in Watkins Glen with the Bo-Dyn Bobsled.  They held a press conference to discuss the upcoming NASCAR/Bobsled race in

Lake Placid during the first weekend in January.  Geoff also stopped by a nearby short track to sign some autographs....a LOT of autographs!

080405  Geoff appeared on NASCAR Nation from Langley Speedway.  Craig (host of NN) focused on Geoff's involvement with the bobsled and his new

Geoffrey Bodine Waxing Frenzy! products!

08/04/05  Geoffrey made his debut on ESPN!  Geoff has been hired as the Racing Analyst for ESPN.  Tonight, he was broadcasting live from Indianapolis,

where he pretty much let Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon fans know that they don't stand much of a chance winning the championship this year.

07/30/05  Geoff raced at Langley Speedway.  Unfortunately, engine problems did not allow him to finish.  Check out the pictures here.

06/30/05 - Geoffrey Bodine will race at Langley Speedway, Hampton, Virginia....returning to his roots!  On July 30th, Geoff will drive the #97 Steve Burke

Racing Monte Carlo, currently being driven by Craig Brown.  We are bringing the Bobsled up and proceeds from sales of special event t-shirts and raffles will

go toward the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project.  Waxing Frenzy! will unveil Geoff's product line....  Check back here daily for updates.

Geoff decided to part ways with the #72 MacDonald Motorsports team.  Look for him to make an appearance near you!  Check back here for details.

05/04/05 - DOVER was good to the #72 Vector Security Chevrolet!  A wet, wet weekend forced the Busch series to skip qualifying.  This put Geoffrey in the

40th starting position.  After avoiding several potential wrecks, Geoff managed a 21st place finish!  Looks like things are looking up for MacDonald Motorsports. 

Following are some pictures from the weekend.....

These 2 guys are Bodine fans from Connecticut.  I'd be happy to post their names if they send them to me.

If anybody knows them, please let them know they are here.  I promised I'd put them on our site.

05/13/05 - Carb problems again....Geoffrey failed to qualify at Richmond. We managed to get some great shots of the Vector Security Chevrolet before and

during practice.

05/06/05 - Geoff will be running the #72 car tonight from Darlington.  Best of luck, Geoffrey! 

04/23/05 - Geoff started the race in the 39th position, after qualifying 32nd.  A leaky carb had to be replaced before the race.  If you didn't see the race, you

missed Geoffrey moving through the field like a hot knife through butter!  The car was running great.  Sadly, in lap 26, Geoffrey hit the brakes (hard) and spun

the car to avoid a major wreck.  In doing so, he locked up the transmission and was out of the race for 35 laps.  He returned to the field in lap 61 and finished

in 34th place.  It was a pleasure to watch him race.  The car looked strong.  Hats off to Geoff for his skillful driving in avoiding the wreck.  It had the potential

for a bad one.  Experience prevails!

This last one is my personal favorite!

04/16/05 - Texas: Geoffrey hit some bad air in lap 142 and spun around the corner, hitting the inside wall on the backstretch.  He finished 9th, but ended up

with a 38 place finish after Johnny Sauter was disqualified for an illegal carburetor.  Looking forward to Phoenix!

04/14/05 - Geoffrey qualified 32nd to run in the O'Reilly 300 at Texas Motorspeedway this Saturday at 2:00 pm.  He's running a new car with a new paint

scheme (red, white, and blue)!  We're wishing him the best of luck and pulling for a strong finish for his birthday! 

04/04/05 - You can't keep a good man down!  Geoffrey finished 29th today despite several "encounters" that sent 2 drivers to the "penalty box".  You would

think they would know better!  It was definitely a BRISTOL race!  This picture is the result of Martin Truex, Jr.'s blatant hit to Geoff's rear in lap 183 (the 10th

caution of the day).  Truex wax penalized a lap by NASCAR officials.  Reportedly, he said on his radio, "I don't care who he is, nobody's gonna race me like

that and get away with it".   In lap 145, Johnny Sauter hit Geoff and put him in the wall.  NASCAR officials held him for 2 laps to (think about what he had

done)!  He then had to do a "drive through" for exiting pit road wrong!  Now I ask...do you believe in Carma?  Don't mess with Geoff!

04/04/05 - The Bristol Busch race was rained/snowed out on Saturday and is now scheduled to race today (Monday) at 10:30.  Look for the Frenzy! logo to

the right of the #72! 

03/26/05 - Geoffrey started 37th  in Nashville today and finished 21st!  This was the best finish the team has had! Geoff is headed to Bristol to race Saturday.

03/17/05  THIS JUST IN....Geoff is in Atlanta now!  He'll be racing in the Busch Series this Saturday in the #72 MacDonald Motorsports

Chevy!  The car had been driven by Eric Norris.  Good luck, Geoff!  Hopefully, this will lead to a ride for the rest of the season.

 07/19/2004: Rob is with Geoff and the #34 team in Indy (testing). So far, the report on the car is good. We are also testing new

products on the car; we'll keep you posted on the results!

07/19/04 6:00 pm - Geoff is 4th fastest in practice at Indy!!! This is great news as there are a lot of teams testing (Tony Stewart,

Bobby Labonte, Ryan Newman, Sterling Marlin, Dale Jarrett...to name a few).

08/21/04 Geoff took time out of his busy schedule to participate in our Poker Run, which benefited Samaritan House (a shelter

for victims of domestic violence).  He even let us auction him off!  The boat pictures were from a Yacht donated (for the day) by Ryan White of Marine

Concepts.  Luckily, Geoff held up great (though he is definitely a landlubber)!  I'm surprised he didn't get writer's cramp.  Must be

used to it by now.  He must have signed every hat and shirt on board!  We had an awesome dinner at Bruitti's in Portsmouth, VA. 

The staff was thrilled to have Geoff there, especially Stacy!  We were so fortunate to have Geoff with us and we hope he had half

as good a time as the people around him.  His smile is contagious.

02/02/05 Rob went to visit Geoff and snapped a few shots of his shop.  Notice the spontaneous placement of Waxing Frenzy! on his car?
