I've met Benson personally down in North Carolina last year. It was the coolest expieriance ever. He won me as a fan just with how he was....I think he is the best truck driver out there. And I'm gonna go down to MIS this weekend to watch him race! People give him to little respect...he's actually a really great driver.

Benson is a very good driver that did not have the breaks when he run cup.He runs the trucks and is one of the top in the series.
When he qualified recently in the only race the cup team Toyota that is maintained by the truck team the beat out full time cup Toyota teams.
So can he drive sure can and needs a good ride.

Johnny Benson is a a great person but he is not the best driver in the truck series. I would take Skinner, Musgrave, Hornaday or Bodine before Benson if I had the pick of any driver to start my team. Nothing against Johnny, I like him and rooted for him in the cup series, he just doesn't seem to have that fiery, competitive side or inflated ego that you almost need to stay ahead of the other drivers.

Yea i was a huge fan of Johnny Benson.. it is sad how the #10 released him as Driver.. and look were that car has gone. I dont think Benson would have never missed a race and would of done a whole lot better Riggs has been.
Also Johnny is a really nice driver.. when i was at Dover the sovonier guy said Johnny's one of the nicest drivers out there and he truely is. I wouldn't count him out of the Nextel series yet.

I agree that Benson is a great truck driver but he didn't do so well in the cup series even though I cheered him on partly because he is from Grand Rapids which I live near. I was really bummed when he didn't win the championship last year but I'll always be rooting him on!

johnny is a wonderful guy and a good family man, love him in the truck series and miss him racing in the cup series. Good old upper midwest boy.
