| OFFICIAL RESULTS: Powerstroke Diesel 200 at ORP |
 Johnny Benson won Friday night's crash-filled Power Stroke Diesel 200 presented by AAA Hoosier Insurance at O'Reilly Raceway Park, race No. 14 of 25 on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule. Benson held off Ron Hornaday, Erik Darnell and Matt Crafton to win his second straight race and third of the season. "Johnny's got it going on," said Bill Davis, Benson's team owner, who won his 20th race as an NCTS team owner. The win was No. 12 for Benson as a driver. As the battle for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship continued to intensify, the points leaders slugged it out over one of the toughest short tracks on the circuit. And it was a typically brutal affair, with truck after truck making contact with ORP's walls or other trucks, or both. (Photo courtesy of Toyota Motorsports)
