Benson definitely isn't taking it easy, he's seems to be driving aggressively trying to make up positions and points on Ron Hornaday.
On Lap 61, Scott Speed has faded, dropping back to sixth and starting to get pressure from Brad Keselowski in seventh.
On Lap 64, the third caution flew for Craig Wood getting loose, spinning and hitting the inside wall.
All the lead lap trucks would pit, the top five off of pit road was as follows: Kyle Busch leading, T.J. Bell in the No. 7 Sponge Tech/Home4theholidays.org Chevrolet Silverado truck in second with a two tire stop, Todd Bodine in third, Kevin Harvick in fourth and Brian Scott in fifth.
Coming off of pit road, Todd Bodine pulled out in front of Kevin Harvick resulting in some minor contact but neither truck was effected by it.
On the Lap 69 restart, Kyle Busch would take the green, pulls away from T.J. Bell and the two tire call doesn't look like it will work.
On Lap 71, Kevin Harvick goes three wide, tyring to pass both T.J. Bell and Todd Bodine, but is unable to make it stick. Johnny Benson would have a scare having minor contact with David Starr in the No. 11 Zachry Toyota tundra truck, resulting in no caution and never truck was effected by it.
On Lap 72, T.J. Bell starts dropping back, the two tire call didn't work and he's handling bad. He falls out of the top five.
Kevin Harvick running in fourth, would pass Todd Bodine for second and used T.J. Bell to get around Bodine.
On Lap 73, Erik Darnell in seventh, trying to pass T.J. Bell in sixth and has Brad Keselowski putting pressure on him.
On Lap 74, Erik Darnell and Brad Keselowski split T.J. Bell and continue to battle for sixth and seventh.
On Lap 75, Kyle Busch is leading, Kevin Harvick in second by 1.610 seconds and Busch has lead 67 laps so far.
On Lap 79, the fourth caution comes out when Colin Braun in the No. 6 Conway Freight Ford F-150 truck would make slight contact with Johnny Benson on the front stretch and ends up in the wall nose first.
None of the leaders pit, they all stay out and the top five was: Kyle Busch leading, Kevin Harvick in second, Todd Bodine in third, Brian Scott in fourth and Mike Skinner in the No. 5 Tundra Sponsored Toyota Tundra truck in fifth.
Ron Hornaday is running in 29th, while Johnny Benson hasn't fared that well, running in twentieth position and had numerous incidents that could have been bad.
On the Lap 86 restart, Kyle Busch would take the green with Kevin Harvick on his bumper both started good and cleared the lapped trucks.
On Lap 88, the fifth caution comes out for T.J. Bell and Johnny Benson having contact in turn one and both trucks ended up wrecking hard in the outside wall with major damage.
At the time of Johnny Benson's disaster, he had a 59 point lead before the accident and after the wreck it was 21 points.
Johnny Benson has been on and off pit road several times trying to fix the truck without going behind the wall to the garage. You could tell Benson should have driven right behind the wall and had his team get too work repairing it. Rather than run a few laps under caution going on and off pit road and than going behind the wall.
Ron Hornaday has three trucks in front of him, which he'll pass, since they are off the track being repaired in the garage and could finish either a position ahead or behind Benson.
On the Lap 95 restart, Kyle Busch would take the green with Kevin Harvick right on his bumper and both clear the lap trucks easily.
On the Lap 97, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick battle it out for the lead, but Busch on the high side holds onto the lead. This would enable Todd Bodine in third, too catch up to the Busch and Harvick.
