The 2008 NCTS title was the latest in an impressive list of accomplishments in his lengthy racing career. Benson captured Rookie of the Year honors in the now defunct ASA Stockcar series in 1990 and was the series champion in 1993. Moving on to NASCAR, Johnny was the Nationwide Rookie of the Year in 1994 and the series champ in 1995.  A year after that, he was the Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year and drove in that series for most of the next 10 years.

In 2005, Benson moved to the Craftsman Truck Series full time finishing 10^th his first year, 2^nd in 2006 and 3^rd in 2007.

Johnny has a well-deserved reputation as a driver who runs hard, but runs clean.
