In the midst of a news conference for the Legends Million at Charlotte prior to the Coca-Cola 600, Geoff Bodine revealed he would attempt to make the field for next week’s Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway in a Chevrolet fielded by Tommy Baldwin.
Bodine, 61, last started a Cup race in 2004 and last raced full time in the series in 1999. He has 18 Cup wins.
Bodine also will compete for a share of the $1 million purse in the Legends Million, scheduled for July 15-17 at Charlotte. The winner of the A-Main feature in the world’s most lucrative race for Legends Cars will earn $250,000.

Among those competing for the top prize will be Sprint Cup driver David Ragan.
“Overall, it should be a great weekend, and I’m glad to be part of it,” Ragan said Sunday. “Without the Legends car series, I wouldn’t be sitting here getting ready to start the Coca-Cola 600.”
