BENSON: In Elite Company with $2M in Career Earnings
This week's race truck for Texas Motor Speedway is Chassis No. 23-73. This is
the same truck Benson drove to a third-place finish last week at Atlanta Motor
Speedway.
Money Mark
After finishing third in last week's Atlanta race, Benson
became the 17th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competitor to reach the $2 million
mark in career winnings. Benson has won $2,005,743.
Sponsor Alert... The No. 23 Tundra will once again sport the red colors
of TCUV this weekend at Texas. TCUV sold its 2,000,000th vehicle this past week,
marking the first time a manufacturer has made such an achievement.
On a Roll
Benson and his No. 23 team have had two wins, five top-five
finishes and seven top-10 finishes in the last seven races.
Point Standings
Benson has quickly climbed the NCTS Championship
standings. He now stands in the fourth position.
Newcomer
Earlier this week, BDR announced that it had signed Phillip
McGilton, former ARCA RE/MAX Series driver, to drive the No. 22 Tundra next year
in the NCTS.
