Winning in Nashville in NASCAR competition brings along with it a very special trophy: a limited-edition Gibson Guitar painted by notable motorsports artist Sam Bass. That unique trophy at the end of the day drives competitors to push extra hard to win, and sometimes that leaves smoke, bent sheet metal, and frustration as a result. For Johnny Benson, that hard driving by two other drivers meant a trip to victory lane in Saturday's Toyota Tundra 200 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Benson, driving the No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota, was the beneficiary of contact on two consecutive laps - the final two laps of the race - between Todd Bodine and Mike Skinner. Bodine got the jump on Skinner on the final restart of the day with two laps remaining and nudged the inaugural series champion out of the groove to take the lead. Bodine led across the stripe to lead at the white flag, but not to be outdone, Skinner repaid the favor going into turn one. Bodine and Skinner slid up the track and brushed the turn two wall, leaving the bottom open for Benson who powered past and into the clear to score his third victory of the 2006 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.
