Benson wants whole team intact: Johnny Benson’s name continued to pop up on the rumor mill page last week. One rumor had him resigning with his MBV Motorsports team, but it later pulled back, stating he has yet to renew. Benson stated exactly what’s up during his two days at the Berlin Raceway in Marne this weekend. Benson said he wants to stay with the team, keep the crew intact and expand its resources. It’s no secret that Benson and his crew chief, James Ince, enjoy a great working relationship. Rumors have swirled that Benson and Ince want to remain a team, and Benson said that is true. But Benson also made it clear that the entire crew is a close-knit group. “It goes further than just me and James,” Benson said. “We have a good group of guys, and we have pretty good depth within our race team, and everybody in that shop is important. Our road crew is extremely tight. All but one or two people are the exact same crew when I started three years ago with this team.”(Michigan Live)(7-2-2002)
