An ailing alternator led to a bad battery which in turn resulted in a faulty finish for Bobby Hamilton Jr. in the Toyota Tundra 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series skirmish at the famed Milwaukee Mile on Saturday night.

Johnny Benson required 60 starts to reach his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory. The second took six days as Benson, driving the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota, swept past Budweiser Pole starter Ron Hornaday Jr. on the 160th of 200 laps to win Friday night's Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 at The Milwaukee Mile. Benson started fourth and led twice for a total of 47 laps and carried a 2.249-second cushion to the checkered flag to become the track's 11th winner in 12 races. Thirty-seven laps of caution held Benson's winning average speed to 85.673 mph - second slowest in series history at the historic track. Benson won $55,500 and moved up a spot in the championship standings to third behind Todd Bodine and David Reutimann. (Ronda Greer Photo)

David Starr hoped that working with a new race team and a new manufacturer - the No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota - would help him to finally conquer the Milwaukee Mile. Starr admits that the one- mile flat track baffles the Texas native. "Because of pit strategy that wasn't necessarily of our own making, we had to go to the back twice and make our way through the field," Starr said. (Ronda Greer Photo)

Benson Takes Two with Win in Milwaukee
After coming close to victory several times in his first 58 starts but never taking home the winner's trophy, Johnny Benson has more than made amends by picking up his second consecutive NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory in Saturday night's Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200. The 1995 NASCAR Busch Series champion took the lead for the final time on lap 160 and led convincingly the rest of the way, holding off 2002 series champion Mike Bliss by 2.249 seconds to take home the $55,500 winner's purse.
Benson was forced to deal with a dominant Ron Hornaday throughout the night on his way to the victory. Hornaday, who started from the pole, led a race high 102 laps but fought a loose condition in the latter stages of the race. Eventually Benson was able to size up Hornaday's weakness and take advantage, driving off to nearly a five second lead within twenty laps to go. Hornaday was not able to hold off a fast-closing Mike Bliss, who darted into second with with seven laps to go and chopped Benson's advantage in half, but ran out of laps before he could make a run for the lead and the win. After going winless for so long in the Truck Series, Benson is overwhelmed with the success he and his Bill Davis Race team have found recently with the No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota. Mike Bliss was closing quickly in the No. 16 IWX Motor Freight Chevrolet, but ran out of laps before he could mount a challenge for the win. For Bliss, the performance was impressive after difficult practice and qualifying sessions earlier in the day. Hornaday was relegated to third at the finish in the No. 33 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet after leading more than half the race.
Jack Sprague finished fourth in the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota. Sprague forced a smile after the checkered, happy to finish among the top five but for a three-time series champion looking for his first win in over a year, anything less than a trip to victory lane is disappointing.
David Reutimann finished fifth in the No. 17 Team Tundra Toyota. Combined with an uncharacteristic performance by point leader Todd Bodine, Reutimann now closes the gap by fifty points in the chase for the NCTS championship. Timothy Peters finished a career-best sixth in the No. 4 Dodge Motorsports Dodge, the best finishing Dodge driver on the evening. Defending race winner Dennis Setzer was seventh in the No. 85 GM FlexFuel Chevrolet, Rick Crawford was ninth in the No. 14 Circle Bar Truck Corral Ford, and Terry Cook rounded out the top ten in the No. 10 Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford. Aric Almirola was the highest finishing Raybestos Rookie of the Year candidate, finishing 13th in the No. 75 Spears Motorsports Chevrolet.
There were nine cautions for 37 laps, slowing the average speed to 85.673 miles per hour. The only serious incident of the evening was on a restart on lap 96 when Matt Crafton was tapped by David Starr, who in turn was tapped by Almirola entering turn one. Crafton's No. 88 Menards Chevrolet slammed hard into the SAFER barrier in turn one, doing significant damage to the left rear. Crafton was able to drive back to the garage and salvaged a 34th-place finish, 49 laps off the pace. Others involved in incidents on the night included Bobby Hamilton, Jr. - who had just returned to the track after an extended green flag stop to replace a dead battery - who spun off turn four, Kerry Earnhardt, Joey Miller, Kelly Sutton, and point leader Todd Bodine - who spun in turn two after a tap from Erin Crocker to bring out the final caution of the night.

The Milwaukee Mile is one of Jack Sprague's favorite stops. Having finished outside of the Top 10 just once in nine starts at Milwaukee prior to this weekend, Sprague was confident that another trip to Wisconsin would produce another solid finish for the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota. And he was right - after starting on the outside pole, Sprague would drive to a fourth-place finish - his fifth Top Five of the 2006 season. (High Sierra Photo)

Krisiloff was strong at the end, but was only able to take home 29th place honors.

Erik Darnell headed to The Milwaukee Mile with high hopes of a strong finish in front of his hometown fans. With a decent qualifying effort, the No. 99 team started the Milwaukee 200 in the 16th position and showed early that they had brought a Ford F-150 capable of competing for a win. However, tire trouble late in the race would foil their plans, relegating them to a disappointing 27th place finish.

Brendan Gaughan rolled into The Milwaukee Mile with three consecutive top five finishes at the historic oval and he was fiercely determined to add a fourth.

A career-best Truck Series finish tonight.
"This was a good track for us. It feels a bit like home, it's a flat surface. We ran much better than where we finished, which is a shame. We've got to start closing these deals off a bit better. It was a learning experience, and you can't be too upset with that

In his four starts now for Key Motorsports in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, rookie driver Ryan Moore has been asked to absorb a lot and be prepared to overcome obstacles. For the most part, the 22-year-old Raybestos Rookie-of-the-Year candidate has risen to the task, and none was more pronounced than what he did during the running of the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 at the Milwaukee Mile Friday night.

Can you believe you won two races in a row?
"I can't believe it. That first one was pretty hard, and everyone said that second one would come a little easier. But, I didn't think it would come today. Rick Ren (crew chief) made some great calls on adjustments tonight. We knew we've been close. Hopefully, we had some opportunities to win some races this year. I'd like to win some more, but I didn't think it would be tonight."

"A new track record! You know what, this team really deserves it, we unloaded this Silverado, and we tried to run this truck one other time this year, and it didn't fit the templates. They wet back to the shop and completely rebuilt this whole truck, and Wally (Rogers, crew chief) said that this is his favorite truck, that is why he stayed back to work on it. To unload and change nothing is a compliment to this whole crew.... "

"We've run well in Milwaukee the last couple years. In 2003 we won and in 2005 we went there and that was actually the start of a good string of races for us. This year wouldn't be a bad time to do that gain. We're a better team this year than we were last year. Milwaukee is a very flat track. I swear if you put water on the racetrack it's going to go to the wall instead of going to the infield. That's my style racetrack."

David Starr has four career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts at the Milwaukee Mile, with a career-best finish of sixth-place in 2002.
Starr on Racing at The Milwaukee Mile:
“Milwaukee is definitely a unique track, and I’m not sure that I’ve really figured it out just yet. It hasn’t been one of my best tacks in the past. I say it’s a unique shaped track because of how flat it is. Because it is so flat, your truck really has to turn good in the center."

Rookie driver, Boston Reid will race his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at the Milwaukee Mile this Friday night.

"It is a typical flat short track, the key is to have the guys set up the truck where it turns through the center, that is the key to winning the race at Milwaukee. If you can get it to turn where you need it to, right in the center, you will be tough to beat. You try real hard not to get wheel spin off the corner. It is important not to use up your brakes. It will be a chassis dependent deal."

“I have had a lot of success in Milwaukee. I won a truck race there and had a Busch Series race won until I ran out of fuel on the final lap. It has been a good track for me. Hopefully, we can get our Toyota Tundra up front and win one of these things for Toyota and Bill and Gail Davis. My guys have really been working hard, and things are really starting to come together."

"We had a great run going at The Milwaukee Mile last year until our engine let go late in the race. I am looking forward to going back and finishing what we started. Milwaukee reminds me a lot of the track I used to race on in Michigan. The track is fairly flat and has a lot of speed. I have run there in my ASA car, but I've only raced there twice in my Tundra."

"Milwaukee is a fast track. The corners are flat and very tight, and you have to really be on your toes all night in order to have a strong finish. To be fast in Milwaukee, you need to get into the corners well and be able to rotate through the center."
