Johnny Benson on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
"Atlanta is neat because of the grooves. The fans get a great show here because you can run side-by-side for a long time. We have been running good here lately and hope to keep it up this weekend. In the last six races, I have finished in the top 10 and should be able to do it again this weekend. The guys are working hard, and it's paying off on the track. Maybe we can get a win here real soon."
