Toyota NCTS Post-Race Notes & Quotes O'Reilly Raceway ParkJOHNNY BENSON, No. 23 TCUV Tundra, Bill Davis Racing
Finished: 2nd
Did you have anything for race-winner Ron Hornaday at the end?
"I was working on him a little bit there with about 40 or 50 to go, but could never quite get it done. I used up my tires trying to get by him, and didn't really have anything for him there at the end. It seemed like everyone needed to run the high groove to be fast, so that made it hard to pass anybody. I just couldn't quite get the truck to cut in the corner they way it needed to. Overall, it was a good night, though."
Why did the team decide to bring a new truck to ORP?
"The other short track trucks were just old. We weren't real satisfied with how we were at some of the other short tracks earlier this season, so we decided to bring what we thought was our best stuff, which was a new truck. The truck was decent here, and obviously I'm pretty happy with a second-place finish, but I just wish we could've had a little bit more at the end."

What happened to your truck down the stretch?
"We had a brake problem. We don't know what happened there, but we had absolutely no brakes. The truck just started pushing. We're pretty lucky to finish sixth. We weren't that good in practice, and made some educated guesses for the race, and it actually wasn't that bad until the brakes ran out. It's not the best we'd like to be, but all things considered, it was a pretty good night."

How was the race track after all of the rain earlier in the day?
"My truck was actually the best at the beginning of the race. Once a little rubber was down on it, we didn't seem to be as good as we were early. It ended up being a pretty good points day, with a finish in the top-10, but it's not where I wanted to be."
How hard was it to pass trucks tonight?
"It's always tough to pass on short tracks. I was running the bottom groove for most of the night, where nobody was, and still couldn't get around guys because this place is so tight. The Con-way Freight Toyota was pretty good tonight, but we're definitely looking for some better runs in the next few races."

How would you rate your second race with the team?
"We were decent tonight. A top-15 finish isn't a bad run, but I know that this team is better and we can do better. I'm still learning what type of feedback to give the crew to make the truck faster, and a place like ORP is a tough little track. I think it will take a few weeks maybe before we're completely comfortable with each other, but it's a nice start, for sure. These guys have proven that they can be a top-five, top-10 truck each week, and that's where we expect to finish."
Do you feel like the team is building some momentum for the season's final stretch?
"I really think we will be. It's just a matter of time before you see this truck where it should be, because I have all the confidence in the world in these guys. We're going to head to Richmond this week to do some testing, which hopefully will give us some good feedback to get this truck that much faster. We head to Nashville in a couple of weeks, and that's a place I really like racing at. I'm looking forward to these next few races."
