Johnny Benson Makes It Two In A Row
I’m not a huge fan of the Craftsman Truck Series, but I am a fan of Johnny Benson. He’s one of the good guys, and it’s always good to see him win.
Johnny Benson claimed his second consecutive Craftsman Truck Series win on Friday, holding off the challenge of Ron Hornaday during a final two-lap run to the checkered flag in the Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
Benson has a 15 point lead over Ron Hornady in the point standings.You can read more about the race at the NASCAR website.
No Cup Race This Week
This is the final off-week for Cup drivers, but I wanted to congratulate Johnny Benson, who not only won at Kentucky Speedway in the Craftsman Truck race there yesterday, but for also for taking the series point lead by ONE point over Matt Crafton. Way to go Johnny!
Carl Edwards won the Nationwide race, but I think the bigger story is that Joey Logano finished second. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Logano in the #20 Cup car next season.
I hope you had a good weekend.
Johnny Benson Wins At Gateway International
Johnny Benson took the lead from Ron Hornaday Jr. with 13 laps remaining and cruised to the win the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Ram Tough 200 at Gateway International Raceway on Saturday.
It was Benson’s second straight win following last week’s victory at Bristol and his third of the season in a Toyota Tundra. He now sits fifth in the standings.
Benson took the lead from Hornaday on lap 38 and lost it in the pits when he exited with loose lug nuts. He then took it back for good when he made the pass for the lead on the outside on the backstretch in the closing laps.
