Johnny Benson on racing at The Milwaukee Mile:

“The No. 23 team is really excited about going back to The Milwaukee Mile to try and get our third victory in a row. Milwaukee has been a great track for me, and I love racing there. It seems to really fit my driving style and reminds me a lot of the tracks I grew up racing on.

“We have a lot of momentum with us right now. After last week’s race at Michigan, my guys want to win more than ever. We have been in position a couple of times this year to get that win, but have just come up short. We have been really consistent, which has helped us get the point lead. Now that we are there, we have to continue to run up front and things of that nature to have a chance to fight for the championship in November. There are a lot of really great teams in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series garage, and we know we have to run strong week in and week out to keep up. [Crew chief] Trip Bruce and all the guys on this No. 23 team at Bill Davis Racing have done a tremendous job this year, and we are looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season unfolds.”
