BENSON: Grooves at Atlanta Will Make Exciting Race
TruckSeries.com. Report Printer Version 

  Discuss



This week's race truck for Atlanta Motor Speedway is Chassis No. 23-73. Johnny Benson has driven this truck in several races this season. The truck's most recent outing at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway in August resulted in a victory for Benson and the No. 23 team.

Sponsor Alert... The No. 23 Tundra will once again sport the red colors of TCUV this weekend at Atlanta. TCUV sold its 2,000,000th vehicle this past week, marking the first time a manufacturer has made such an achievement.

Point Standings… Benson has quickly climbed the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship standings. He now stands in the fifth position.

Fast Facts… Benson won the pole in just his fourth NASCAR Cup Series start in Chuck Rider's No. 30 Pennzoil Pontiac at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1996. Benson also won the 1995 Busch Light 300 NASCAR Busch Series event at Atlanta. He drove Bill Baumgardner's Lipton Tea Chevrolet to not only the Atlanta victory, but also the series championship that year.

Listen and watch… The Easy Care Vehicle Service Contracts 200 is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. ET Saturday, Oct. 27. It will broadcast on the Speed Channel (TV), MRN (radio) and Sirius Satellite Radio (Ch. 128).

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."
