Benson Crew Chief CORRECTION and UPDATE: Jack Roush and Johnny Benson were at Road Atlanta today, for the ‘Roush Ride and Drive’ and did a satellite interview with Alan Bestwick on Speedvision’s ‘Inside Winston Cup Racing’ where Roush announced that Bobby Leslie would be Benson’s Crew Chief with the #26 Cheerios Ford in 1999.( Wide Freakin’ Open ). Jayski Note: Leslie was the interim crew chief after Steve Hmiel left Roush Racing.(11-10-98) — My mistake – Bobby Leslie has not been the interim crew chief in 1998, it was Ben Leslie who was formerly the car chief stepped in to perform crew chief duties after Steve Hmiel left. Bobby Leslie (no relation to Ben) was the crew chief for Mark Martin’s BGN ride in 1998 and provided support to Martin’s team on race day for Winston Cup.(11-10-98) — Little old but…NASCAR Online reports Leslie named Benson’s crew chief (11-19-98)
