Johnny Benson Enters Auto Value 250 at Speedway 660 
Truck Champion is Latest American to Go After Canadian Glory

 
Last year’s Auto Value 250 at Speedway 660 Speedway attracted one of the best fields of pro stock cars ever seen in the region. This year’s field has already broken that standard and today veteran NASCAR driver Johnny Benson has thrown his hat into the ring for the 2010 Auto Value 250. The 2008 Craftsman Truck Series Champion and former Nextel/Winston Cup regular announced that he has teamed with Martins Home Heating and Sommerville Racing to make the trek north to Fredericton, NB for the Labour Day event.
 
The Auto Value 250 is now celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and the region’s top pro stock drivers regard the race as the premier stock car event of the season. Benson is no stranger to the event as he led the charge of high profile drivers to compete with his entry in the 2005 and 2006 event.
 
“I’ve been looking to get back up here since my last run in 2006.  It’s an awesome weekend and the folks are a blast.  We’ve had some scheduling conflicts over the past few years but I’m excited to be able to come for the 10th Anniversary event” said Benson.  Complete PR

Skinner wins at Berlin Raceway

Mike Skinner, a veteran on the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series, won Modified Night, capturing the 50-lap main [Berlin Raceway]. It was his first trip to the Marne half-mile. The Ontario, Calif., native was invited to drive the Racingawareness.com 97L Modified fielded by local car owners Jeff Striegle, Norm Jelsma and Mike Bursley. Skinner qualified second in the car, which raises funds for the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation. He later beat out Billy Shotko of West Olive for the feature win.

"Man, oh man, it was everything Johnny Benson told me it was," Skinner said of Berlin, which is celebrating its 60th season this year. "It is a fun, fun race track. It's scary over there (on the backstretch) with no mirrors and no spotters. I just wanted to have a good, clean race. Skinner is the second NASCAR driver to park the car in Berlin's Victory Lane this season, after Sprint Cup driver A.J. Allmendinger won in June.
 

Busch wins at Chicagoland
The sixth green-white-checkered flag finish of the season didn't change the outcome, as race leader Kyle Busch kept second place finisher #30-Todd Bodine at bay and went on to pick up the win for the EnjoyIllinois.com 225 at Chicagoland Speedway. This is Busch's second win at Chicagoland in as many series races, and his 20th overall career win in the Camping World Truck Series. Rounding out the top ten were; #33-Ron Hornaday, #13-Johnny Sauter, #7-Justin Lofton, #51-Aric Almirola, #88-Matt Crafton, #73-Rick Crawford, #3-Austin Dillon, #21-David Starr. There were 9 lead changes among 5 drivers, with 5 cautions for 21 laps.
