Geoff Bodine Survives Horrific Daytona Wreck

I've been watching NASCAR for 50 years and that was the most brutal non-fatal crash I've ever seen. It's still amazes me that Bodine survived.

I get what youre saying, and what you mean, and I mean this as humble and dignified as can be, ...and I"m not trying to be "nit-picky", but Geoff did not say he "used that as motivation to be a better PERSON", he "used that as motivation to be a better CHRISTIAN!"

[@mikekaylor1226]

Geoff Bodine is the most underrated driver in Nascar history. He was so good in the eighties and nineties, a consistent performer and a winner. He should have been inducted into the hall of fame 15 years ago

[@jvydenlovescruises]

hall of fame didnt exist until 2010

[@muddybrookrambler]

He absolutely dominated in Modifieds in the 70s, an era when the division was completely stacked with talent. I want a fan of his back then-but he should have gotten a Cup opportunity a decade before he finally did.

[@Mjones8383]

As a dale fan I never was a bodine fan at all, but just hearing this made me a fan of the man he is

[@frankgublo2323]

I grew up in Chemung, and went to his father Eli Bodine's race track. Geoff became the man he is for sure, and thankfully so. Geoff in this interview, and from his personal growth and growth in faith, is a hundred percent better man than he was in the 1970s.

[@bklarson17]

Many years ago I couldn't stand Geoff Bodine until I saw this interview. My fault for being judgemental but was a #3 fan and Geoff always raced Sr. hard. Can't wait for the book, may God continue to use you for His Glory!

[@robertcross5794]

Hey, I know what you mean. I never liked the Bodine brothers.( I always pronounced his name Gee-Off) It wasn't personal. In any sport you have guys you root for and then you have guys you don't like. I disliked Jeff Gordon too. Didn't care much for DW either until he went up to the booth. I would shake all their hands today if I met them. It was what made the sport so enjoyable back in those days.

[@brianm.5822]

He was supposed to race Dale hard, they raced hard back then.

[@moparedtn]

As someone who's survived cancer 6x and has flatlined 3x in my life, I can personally attest that the experiences Geoff describes here with his dad (and other things) happen - they're real. *Incredibly* real, in ways that you don't even question if they happened. They did (and do)... Those of us who have seen a bit of the other side all have our stories to tell and again, Geoff is right about it being almost an obligation that we tell our tales to others so that perhaps another can be helped through them, too. Put it this way - when I'm asked if I "believe", I always say "no - I KNOW". When you've actually had the privilege of "meeting" Him, there's no doubt left in your mind - no believing necessary. :-) Y'all be safe, - Ed on the Ridge

[@thomasholland3289]

I am still amazed Jr. finally had Geoff on. I remember what you have said in the past. I watched Geoff's modified exploits around New England. Insane. He regrets being a jerk back in the day. I've heard him say it. He was cocky and focused. He wasn't staying around. He kicked ass and took the phone call to pack his bags. 1986 Daytona 500 CHAMPION! never can be taken away. Ever 🏁thanks Jr., he is an interesting character for sure. Always has been.

I've been a Geoff Bodine fan since the 1960's, hustling a big block modified around Shangri-la Speedway, in Owego NY. The competition was stout, only the best of the best were there, the list of drivers I saw there was a who's who of established and up and coming drivers. The 61 Valiant was way ahead of it's time with Geoff and his team's ideas. Thanks for the memories, glad you're still kickin'.

Then he came out with the Pinto, looked like a spaceship!

I could listen to stories like this all day, thank you Jr and glad Geoff is still with us.

[@christopher.burnham]

I got my picture taken with Geoff as a kid in my hometown in NY as part of promoting the Watkins Glen race weekend around 1998 or 1999. From the house I grew up in, the Chemung Speedrome where Geoff and his brothers had their upbringing is no more than 10 - 15 minutes away. I worked parking & security at the majestic Watkins Glen International racetrack in my days as well. Because of these racing influences, they have made me a deep NASCAR far for life. No matter how the rules, drivers, or cars change, the same competitive spirit on the track can be seen through all generations and is why I will never turn my eyes away from the sport. But Geoff will forever be my favorite, the black #7 QVC 1:24 die-cast that my parents got for me when I was a kid still sits on display with me in my man cave.

On my first visit to my home track Spencer Speedway in spring of 1971 after discharge from the Navy he was driving a Valiant bodied modified of his own construction and later a Vega body. Always a fan of his and appreciate his honesty and openness on a not often talked about subject. Great interview as always by Junior.

[@tomt9543]

I’ve always heard that that Valiant was way ahead of it’s time! In some pictures I’ve seen, it looks like it had independent rear suspension, but I can’t be certain. And that was at a point in time that a lot of guys were still running straight axle front ends! Name somebody today that’s a racer, and builds their own piece! NADA! God has blessed him richly!

@Tom T I have often thought that about the rear end also. It did look different. I saw that Valiant race on dirt at Syracuse and the 3/4 mile track at Pocono and it was impressive. I believe Geoff had some college engineering but don't know to what extent. He certainly must have applied it along with the racing experience to the bobsled program.
