What a race! Hats off to Johnny Benson, the 2008 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion. It very literally came down to the last turn of the last lap. It's Benson's first championship in the Truck Series, second overall( he won the Busch Series in 1995). Craftsman is leaving as sponsor of the series after thirteen years. Camping World will take over next year as series sponsor.
I really hoped Ron Hornaday could win the championship, but pit strategy and quick thinking by Benson's crew chief gave the trophy to Benson. Coming into the race Benson had a 3 point lead. Whichever driver finished in front of the other would be the victor. Thats exactly what Benson did. He finished just in front of Hornaday, by .4 seconds.
Thats why the Truck Series is so awesome. Its always down to the wire. Its always hard racing. Its always fun.
