2008 Camping World Truck Series champ Johnny Benson strolled briskly behind pit road Friday afternoon, sporting regular clothes with no emblem, looking more like a media member than a racing ace. After running well for the #95 Team Gill Racing team in Daytona, fellow veteran Geoff Bodine is behind the wheel at AMS. “There’s have been a lot of questions about the #95 and Danny Gill. Geoff was always scheduled to run here,” he said. “I’m trying to help some other teams and we’re hoping to do some other stuff.” Benson says he is not frustrated by the fact that he is a past champion of the series without a ride, because he understands that the sport is now for younger drivers – especially ones who have money. Benson was tentatively tabbed to run for KBM and says he still could, but sponsorship has failed to materialize as of yet.(Frontstretch.com)(3-6-2010)
