The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Camping World RV Rental & Winnebago Sales 200, race No. 18 of 25 on the 2008 NCTS schedule. Johnny Benson has led the points for the last five races, but Ron Hornaday Jr. continues to hang right on his rear bumper, cutting the margin to 94 points after winning last week in St. Louis. Going into this week's race, there are controversies and concerns aplenty as the truckers roll into to New England and the tricky 1.058-mile oval. Here are 10 things to watch for on Saturday: CAN BENSON BOUNCE BACK? It sounds silly to ask if Benson can bounce back given that he finished fourth and third in the last two NCTS races. But last week was the first race since NASCAR mandated smaller tapered spacers for the Toyota engines, and Benson earned his fourth place more on the basis of pit strategy than horsepower. Benson won this race two years ago and needs to keep trying to pull away from Hornaday if he wants to win his first NCTS championship this season.

Ron Hornaday Jr. continued to push the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship fight, as he captured Saturday's Camping World 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, surviving a crash-filled afternoon. Hornaday took the lead for good on the 156th of 200 laps around the 1.058-mile oval, making one of his patented banzai starts to blast past Travis Kvapil into the lead and propelling him to victory. All told, Hornaday led nearly three-quarters of the laps in scoring his fifth victory of the season and record 38th of his career. The three-time series champion went on to his second consecutive NCTS victory, but points leader Johnny Benson stayed close, finishing second behind Hornaday and ahead of Kvapil. Unofficially, Benson now leads Hornaday by 74 points with seven laps to go. With qualifying rained out, the field was set by owner points, with Benson's Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Tundra on the pole, flanked by the Camping World Chevrolet Silverado of defending series champion Ron Hornaday Jr.

The relief in Ron Hornaday Jr.'s face was as palpable as the emotion was, as he stood in victory lane Saturday afternoon at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after winning the Camping World RV Rental 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. But as he choked on his words and fought back his emotions, it was obvious that this victory was about a lot more than simply winning a race.
