Johnny Benson Enterprises is pleased to announce JB’s return to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Competition. Johnny Benson will be competing once again, for his quest for another NASCAR Championship starting at Daytona in February 2012.

Johnny’s current plans are to display the “Pure Michigan” logo on the NASCAR Truck Series Vehicle, with a Consortium of Michigan Businesses to rally around his home state of Michigan. Benson states that he is back in “top condition” and ready to take on the Truck Series, once again, where he left as the Champion in 2008.

Johnny Benson has been currently racing Late Models and Super Modifieds through out the Midwest and the Northeast. While on the mend from his 2009 wreck at Berlin Speedway. This year he has had very successful runs with First, Second, and Third place finishes in various races.

Benson feels that the Super Modifieds have been an excellent means to getting back to top racing form. The 2012 and 2013 seasons will be dedicated to the great fans that have followed Johnny Benson for years throughout the Midwest and across the Nation.
