Question: What will it take to hold off Ron (Hornaday) down the stretch?
Johnny Benson: “We just have to keep doing the things we have to do to, you know, be consistent and go win races. Ron’s won three, we’ve won three. With that being said, we’re going to win more races to win this championship I believe.”
Question: You were second and third in points the past two seasons. Is this the year you win your second NASCAR championship and what would it mean?
Johnny Benson: “We’d surely like it to be that way for sure. It would mean a lot not just exactly for myself either but for (crew chief) Trip Bruce and all the guys that work at Bill Davis Racing. They work so hard and I believe they deserve . . . a championship. I think that would be a great thing for them.”
Question: Has season lived up to expectations you had coming in?
Johnny Benson: “I would probably say ‘yeah.’ For some reason I can’t win a race before June and the second half of the year has always gone OK but in the past I’ve always had some kind of mechanical problem or driver problem. We’ve know we’ve got bumps in the road to go. We know that’s going to happen. It’s just a matter of who ends up having kind of the best luck from here on out.”
