Johnny
Benson held off Ron
Hornaday in a two-lap
shootout and win the
NASCAR Craftsman Truck
Power Stroke Diesel 200
on Friday night at
O’Reilly Raceway Park.
This was his second
straight win and third
in the past four races.
Hornaday had led and
dominated most of the
race until lap 162.
Benson was able to get
around him and survive
four caution flags.
Benson pulled away by
.484 seconds in the
final laps.
“I spent a lot of
time, a lot of time,
behind him. But it gave
me an opportunity to see
what he was doing, where
his weak spots were,
where his strong spots
were.” Benson said.
Erik Darnell finished
third, Matt Crafton
fourth and Shelby Howard
finished fifth.
Benson holds a
15-point lead over
Hornaday in the series
standings.
