This week's race truck for the Martinsville Speedway is Chassis No. 23-35.  This is the same truck Benson drove last year at Martinsville en route to his fifth place finish at the Speedway.

360 OTC as the primary sponsor of Benson's No. 23 Toyota Tundra for this weekend's race at Martinsville Speedway.  Benson will join BDR teammate Tyler Walker in representing 360 OTC on the side of his truck.  This will be the first of 10 races this season with 360 OTC as the primary sponsor on Benson's truck.

Travis Sharpe, the front tire catch man for the No. 23 Toyota team was born and raised in Martinsville, Va.

Benson finished second in October of 2002 in Nelson Bowers Valvoline sponsored Pontiac in the NEXTEL Cup Series at Martinsville Speedway.

Benson and teammate Tyler Walker spent this past Monday testing their Martinsville trucks at Caraway Speedway, located in Asheboro, NC.

Johnny Benson on racing at Martinsville Speedway:
"I am looking forward to Martinsville.  We had some bad luck a few weeks ago in Atlanta and I am looking to bounce back from that.  We need a real strong finish this weekend in Martinsville to get back up in the points.  Martinsville is a rough track to race on, not so much the track but it just seems like the drivers race a little rougher up there.  I'm just going to have to drive smart and hope nothing goes wrong."

"Last time out we were at Martinsville we finished fifth.  I would love nothing more than to do that again especially for 360 OTC.  This is the first time I will be running their colors this year and we want to have a good outing for them, hopefully we will make them proud."
