| Casino Arizona 150 - Official Results |
 Johnny Benson got turned sideways on the opening lap, but that did not deter him from picking up his fifth win of the 2006 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in the Casino Arizona 150 at Phoenix International Raceway. Benson started from the pole, but spun entering turn three on the opening lap. After dropping back to the tail of the field, Benson methodically worked his way back to the front and stormed to the checkered flag. Benson did all he needed to do to try to stay in the hunt for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship, but a fourth-place finish by leader Todd Bodine means Benson is 112 points behind with just one race remaining. Benson started his No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota alongside his Bill Davis Racing teammate Mike Skinner, and since both are in heated points battles, they charged hard on the first lap. Skinner nosed his own No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota ahead going into three just as Benson broke loose.
