Johnny Benson led twice for 31 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in the Con-way Freight 200 at Michigan. Benson took the honor for the first time this season. This is just the second race he has led in 2006 (he led once for one lap last week at Texas).

Benson scored his first Craftsman Truck Series victory at Michigan. The win came in his 60th start in the series. He edged Mark Martin by just .112 seconds in a green-white-checkered finish. Benson collected his 19th top-five and 34th top-10 in the series. Benson is fourth in the Craftsman Truck Series championship standings. He trails third place Ted Musgrave by 26 points.

Benson becomes the fourth different driver in the last four races to claim WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors. Todd Bodine and Mike Skinner are tied for the lead in the WIX Filters Lap Leader standings. Each driver has taken WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in the three events this season.
