Johnny Benson wins Milwaukee Craftsman Truck race

It took two years in the Craftsman Truck series for Johnny Benson to win his first race at Michigan last week. So what does he do? he comes back the next week at the Toyota Tundra 200 at Milwaukee and wins again.



Ron Hornaday-#33 Chevy won the pole and dominated the first half of the race. Hornaday said they made some adjustments that didn't help and Johnny Benson-#23 Toyota took the lead on a restart with about 70 laps left. Benson held on for the win.



The points lead tightened up a bit. Points leader Todd Bodine had trouble and finished 20th. His teammate Ted Musgrave is in a slump right now. David Reutimann finished fifth and gained some ground on Bodine. Benson's second straight win moved him past Musgrave into third.
