Johnny Benson - California Preview

Race: San Bernardino County 200

Location: California Speedway

Date: February 23, 2008

NOTES:

This week’s race truck for the California Speedway is Chassis No. 23-60. This is the same truck Benson won with at last year’s season ending race at the Homestead Miami Speedway.
On Board… TCUV will once again be onboard Benson’s truck during the Friday night race.
Close Call… Benson finished third at last weekend’s season opener at Daytona International Speedway after narrowly avoiding numerous wrecks. Benson also led at least one lap in the 100 lap race, therefore he received an extra five bonus points and is tied for second in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series points standings heading into California.
Autographs anyone? Benson will participate in a Toyota Motorsports autograph session Wednesday, Feb. 20 at Toyota’s National Headquarters in Torrance, Calif. The event is scheduled to last from 11:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. This event gives Toyota employees a chance to get up close and personal with the Toyota Tundra family.
Listen and watch … The San Bernardino County 200 is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET Saturday, Feb. 23. It will broadcast live on Speed Channel (TV), MRN (radio) and Sirius Satellite Radio (Ch. 128).

Johnny Benson on racing at California Speedway:

“We are taking the same truck we won Homestead with last year and we seem to always run pretty decent at California anyway, so it should be a great weekend for this No. 23 TCUV team. We are pumped about the way things have started off this season and hope to continue making headway this weekend in California.”

“Toyota’s headquarters are near Los Angeles, so we always want to put on a good show for them. Mike won this thing last year, so I hope to see one of us win it again this year for Bill Davis Racing and Toyota.”
