With the #18 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota Tundra vacant for Friday’s WinStar World Casino 400k NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Busch immediately put in a call to 2008 Truck Series champion Johnny Benson. Benson wasted little time saying yes and will pilot the #18 Toyota Tundra. Benson has 14 career Truck Series victories and, in addition to his 2008 series championship, he also won the 1995 Nationwide Series title. Benson has proven to be successful at Texas, having scored six top-five finishes in 10 starts at the 1.5-mile oval. He also scored two top-five finishes in eight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts in the Lone Star State.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(6-1-2010)
