Johnny Benson’s Racing Quotes:

Johnny Benson on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:

“We are very excited about how the season has gone so far. Atlanta is a great track to run on, and it is always exciting for the fans. I will be pulling double duty this weekend, so I will have plenty of seat time on the track in order to prepare for Friday night’s truck race. We are going to do everything we can to keep our hot streak going this year and hopefully we can get into victory lane soon.”
