I remember that win pretty well myself. I had recorded the race, and was watching it late at night, as is my habit.

When Bob won that final round, I was whooping and yelling so much, I woke my wife up. She came into the room and wondered why I was making so much noise.

X3. I was standing near the starting line and the crowd went nuts!

Later that evening the entire Bode team and several other PRO drivers were in the campground at "Camp Pallet" celebrating the win. I got to shake his hand and congratulate Bob personally. There may have been 1 or 2 adult beverages involved that night.

The BEST win of the whole 2010 season , couldn't make the Brainard race , but it was so cool to see the the team at Indy, and see Bob and the team get some dues as the hardest working team put the the big dogs on the trailer!!

Congrats again to Bob and the rest of the crew , you guys are the best

As with so many other folks I'm sure, I will be hoping for a repeat performance. Some of the nicest guys in the pits work on that squad.
