For Johnny Benson and Ron Hornaday Jr., it's game on as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Phoenix International Raceway for Friday night's Lucas Oil 150, race No. 24 of 25 in the 2008 season. Although Hornaday has made up ground on Benson in six of the last seven races, the bespectacled Midwesterner still has the NCTS points lead, an ever-so-slim margin of just 6 points. Phoenix, which hosted the first-ever NCTS race in 1995, should prove to be a difficult challenge for the two points leaders and the rest of the field. The one-mile PIR oval has two very different shaped sets of corners, with Turns 1 and 2 radically different in size and shape from Turns 3 and 4, so setups are always a matter of compromise: It's impossible to get it right at both ends of the track.

Johnny Benson became the series' 10th different champion by finishing seventh in Sunday night's Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He also became only the second competitor to win the truck series title and the NASCAR Nationwide title, having captured the latter in 1995. Greg Biffle is the other driver to have won both championships. The 13 years between championships is the longest in NASCAR national series history. Owners Bill and Gail Davis and crew chief Trip Bruce also became NASCAR Craftsman Truck champions for the first time as Benson edged Ron Hornaday Jr. by seven points in the third-closest title race since the organization adopted its current national series points structure in 1975.

Red Horse Racing formally announced that they will expand to two-truck operation for the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season with the addition of defending series champion Johnny Benson to the team’s roster. Benson, the 1995 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion and 1996 Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year, will join teammate David Starr in the Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra’s. Fittingly, Benson will pilot the team’s No. 1 Toyota with Starr back behind the wheel of the familiar No. 11 Tundra. “I couldn’t be happier than I am joining Tom DeLoach and Red Horse Racing for 2009,” Benson said. “Tom has a long history in the sport and has always done things the right way. He has built a great racing team. The shop, the equipment and the people are all top notch. There will be some familiar faces from the championship-winning team that comes over to Red Horse Racing so we hope that minimizes the adjustment time. We really plan on not having any adjustment time at all; we want to hit the ground running and fight for wins starting with the first race at Daytona. I’m looking forward to teaming up with David (Starr) too. He’s always been a hard competitor on the track but he’s a lot of fun to be around. I can tell we’re going to have a lot of fun in 2009. We’re going to enjoy the off-season – I’ve been looking forward to spending time with my family and working on some of my other racing projects during the winter – but I can’t wait to get to Daytona and get the season started.”
