Two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Todd Bodine will race at Daytona International Speedway this year after all.

Bodine, who won the 2006 and 2010 Truck Series championships, will drive the No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra in the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona on Feb. 24. SPEED will televise the race live from the track, starting with the “NCWTS Setup” at 7 p.m.

Although he is still looking for additional sponsorship to fund more races, for the Daytona event, Bodine and the No. 11 Red Horse Toyota will carry backing from Good Sam RV Club, a sister company to Camping World that provides roadside assistance to recreational vehicles, automobiles, SUVs and motorcycles.

“Good Sam has been a part of our sport before and (CEO) Marcus Lemonis is obviously a big supporter of our series,” said Bodine in a release issued Friday. “The Camping World Truck Series has been a great marketing tool for them, and they understand what the series is all about. I’m proud to be going to Daytona with them and I hope to make something more out of this down the road.”
