The last time the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) visited the Milwaukee Mile, Johnny Benson drove his No. 23 Tundra to victory lane. He returns to the Wisconsin track with a strong run on his to do list. "I like Milwaukee," says Benson. "We won here last year and I hope to do the same this year. Milwaukee is a great place to race. The competition in the NCTS has gotten stronger with each race this year, and I look forward to racing with such a competitive group again this weekend at Milwaukee. From now on, it's all about winning and if I want to get up there in the points , we 're going to have to start doing it now."

Ryan Mathews considers the Milwaukee Mile his home track, as the Bill Davis Racing rookie driver grew up in nearby Lake Geneva, Wis. "With four truck races under my belt, I feel very comfortable with the team and the way we are working together," says Mathews, driver of the No. 36 Tundra. "I've had pretty good success racing in many different divisions in the past at Milwaukee. I finished top-five there in the ARCA Series race last year, and I hope to have the same luck with the race in the truck. I like this track because it's really easy to overdrive -- you have to hit your marks. Overall, it is a pretty fun track to race on. I have a lot of friends and family that will be there, and I definitely don't want to let them down."

Ted Musgrave, driver of the No. 9 Team ASE/Germain Tundra, grew up about 45 minutes outside of Milwaukee in Mundelein, Ill., and his racing career started on the Milwaukee Mile's nine-degree banking. "Milwaukee has a lot of history," says Musgrave. "My brother raced there and my father raced there in the early 60s in USAC. A lot of big name racers have raced at that track -- it's very historic. When you go to that race track, for me it's like some people when they go to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When I go to Milwaukee and think of all the guys that have raced there -- Parnelli Jones, Norm Nelson, A.J. Foyt and on down the line -- everybody that's been in racing has raced at Milwaukee. At least I can say that I've raced there and won there multiple times."

Many current Toyota drivers have won at Milwaukee since the NCTS began racing there in 1995. In addition to Benson's win last year, Mike Skinner (1995) and Jack Sprague (1996) have each visited victory lane at the Mile, but Musgrave is the only NCTS repeat winner at the oval, capturing the checkered flag in 2001 and 2004. "I am the only repeat winner at the Milwaukee Mile in the Craftsman Truck Series so far," says Musgrave. "Milwaukee really puts the emphasis on working hard because that's back home, in front of friends and family, and people that followed your career. You put a little extra effort into it, and I know the crew does too. They know it's a track where I'll do my best to win."

Tundra drivers hold six of the top-10 spots in the NCTS championship point standings. After 10 of 25 races, Skinner continues to sit atop the point standings for Bill Davis Racing. Tundra drivers trailing Skinner in the standings are Todd Bodine (third), Musgrave (sixth), Benson (seventh), rookie Aaron Fike (eighth) and Jack Sprague (ninth).
