BENSON A HIT AT NBIS

 

 

Fans and racers alike flocked to the Benson pit stall all weekend.  To wait for hours to get an autograph and a quick smile????  Well not quite, actually most ended up standing and talking to the man driving the #21 Irving Oil Monte Carlo.   "Johnny Benson talked to me for 20 minutes!!!" was the common phrase voiced by fans.   Racers marveled at how approachable he was. One Pro Stock driver was quoted "He's just like one of us.  He hung out with us and was visible all weekend".

 

Johnny was quick to thank everyone involved in making his trip to Canada and the Irving Oil 250 possible.  Special thanks go out to:

 

Irving Oil - Mainway - Bluecanoe

Ulitimate Motorsports and O'Blenis Family

Fivestar Stock Car Bodies

 

From Johnny:

Thanks for a great weekend, I sure had fun with all the people involved. Tell everybody I said Hey from down south!!
 
Thanks again JB
