Momentum was the name of the game for this team as Johnny Benson in the Bill Davis Racing #23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota picked up his second win in the Truck Series at the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200. The win boosts Benson into even closer contention for the championship as he moves into third place in the standings. Todd Bodine, after fighting an ill-handling truck all night, finished a disappointing 20th allowing David Reutimann to close the gap even further between first and second in the points. Finishing second was Mike Bliss in the #16. The man who let the most laps, Ron Hornaday finished third, with Jack Sprague 4th, and David Reutimann rounding out the top five. A couple of rookies had a good run with Aric Almirola and Chad McCumbee finishing 13th and 14th respectively. Another rookie, the #20 of Marcos Ambrose, in his quest to gain some seat time, is looking more comfortable on the “ovals” and managed to bring it home in 18th position. It was a tough night for Bobby Hamilton Jr. who was not allowed to qualify after failing a pre-race inspection and had to start deep in the field. Plagued by battery problems and also a spin out left him in 31st position at the end of the race. Last year’s champion, Ted Musgrave, also with handling problems finished well back in the pack in 24th place.(6-23-2006)
