Johnny Benson on Racing at Kansas Speedway:

“I really like racing at Kansas. It is definitely one of the tracks that I look forward to racing on during the year. It is a very smooth and fast track, and you can basically run fast on any groove. I am really looking forward to this weekend and I hope we have the finish that this No. 23 team deserves. We started off good this year, but have had some bad luck here recently. Hopefully we can get things going again in Kansas.”
