His biggest victories at the historic port city track came in the 1979 and 1981 Budweiser Modified 200s. He also experimented with a rear-engine supermodified in 1972. "Early on I thought Indy was the place to be," Bodine said. "I ran about a half season at Oswego in the super until I realized I didn't belong.

Once back on the modified scene I decided the Grand National series was next I paid my dues and now I'm lucky to be able to look back and know I made the right decision." Bodine has recorded five victories during his Winston Cup career, with the 1986 Daytona 500 the most recognized. His best finish this season is runner-up in the Good wrench 500 at Rockingham, N.C., and Budweiser 400 at Riverside, Calif. Being familiar with week-to-week changes in track sizes, he feels reduced speeds on Oswego's slightly banked Vs-mile layout will not affect his performance. "Whether you race at 200 miles per hour on a superspeedway or 100 miles per hour on a short track, its basically the same," Bodine said. "The only time you notice a difference is when there's an accident Hitting the wall hurts more at 200." Bodine is scheduled to race AUTO BAC1FIG Bodine returns to Oswego track to run in feature By Tom Skibinakl OSWEGO As Geoff Bodine drove up the road Thursday to Oswego Speedway, his head swelled with fond memories.

The supermodified double-header (twin 75s) begins at 6 p.m. There's a lot of new faces in the division since I raced modi-fieds," Bodine said. "The cars have also changed. They seem to be a lot smaller and much quicker.

I'm fortunate that Brian (Ross) has the confidence to let me pick up his ride. I haven't driven a modified since about 1981, so I hope I can remember. I think Brian does, too." Bodine, who began racing modifiers in 1968, will team with 1986 Oswego modified track champion Ross. Bodine, 38, a native of Chemung, will drive the back-up car with Ross entering his familiar red No. 69.
