somebody remind me why geoff Bodine is off the radar and Brett drives the pace car? I personally think todd is the only one of the bodines that can actually drive a car, imo.
I haven't really heard why Geoff has fallen off the racing scene. I know that after his horrendous wreck at Daytona, he never really seemed to be the same.
Brett ran his own team until the money ran out, he started playing with the Hooters girl, and his wife divorced him. I think potential sponsors dropped him like a hot rock, so he then joined NASCAR and took over the pace car duties.

Geoff is designing Bobsleds and was featured in a piece about the Winter Olympics.
From Wikipedia:
Geoff was the victim of one of the worst crashes in history at Daytona International Speedway in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck race on February 18, 2000. His truck was hit on the left side by another truck that came up the track after hitting another. His truck lifted off and flew straight into the tri-oval fence. His truck burst into flames and rolled down the track, nothing left of it except for the roll cage. His truck was hit several times by others during the massive wreck. He got banged up but was not seriously injured. His recovery caused him to miss the first third of the 2000 season. He broke his right wrist, a vertebrae, his right ankle, and got a concussion. Nine fans were also injured during this incident, but all recovered.
Amazingly, in the 2002 Nascar Winston Cup season opener at Daytona, he came back to the track that had nearly claimed his life to finish third in the Daytona 500, behind Elliott Sadler and the race winner Ward Burton.

Bo-Dyn bobsleds
Geoff's creativity and innovation are not just limited to NASCAR racing. Geoff is the co-owner of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Company. His bobsled interest started during the 1992 Winter Olympics when the U.S. Bobsled Team was having a tough time during competition. Geoff learned that the sleds being used were all imported and not built locally. He felt that he could help the team win with better bobsled technology derived from his racecar engineering background and experience. With these beliefs, Geoff took a few runs in a bobsled at Lake Placid, New York to confirm his feelings and to learn more about the sleds.
Bo-Dyn Bobsleds (Bo for Bodine, "Dyn" for Chassis Dynamics) was created in 1992 by Geoff and his good friend and chassis builder, Bob Cuneo of Chassis Dynamics. Geoff founded the USA Bobsled Project to help create a winning bobsled for the U.S. teams. The U. S. National Team first used their sleds in 1994. Ten years after Bo-Dyn's inception, the U.S. team won three medals in Bo-Dyn Bobsleds during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Geoff Bodine now goes by Geoffrey and enjoys giving back to the community that supports him. He has served as a volunteer fireman and is now a board member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Geoff can wheel a racecar. That truck crash at Daytona was one of the worst I've seen.
