Motown is known for the chart topping tunes of the 60's and the Circle Bar Team has been climbing the charts of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points standings over the last few weeks. Going into the Con-Way Freight 200 Rick Crawford and his Circle Bar Team had been hitting the high notes over the last few weeks and the sweet music they've produced put them in the top 10 last week and looking for more in Motown.

Bad luck found Musgrave at Michigan as he and his No. 9 Team ASE Germain Toyota Tundra Team were involved in an early race incident with the No. 15 truck of Kyle Krisiloff in Saturday's Con-Way Freight 200 at Michigan International Speedway to finish in the 23 rd spot.

Coming off the heels of his first career top-10 finish at Texas, David Ragan hoped to head home with a similar result, but his day was thrown off course at lap six, when the No. 18 truck cut across the nose of the No. 50 Ford, causing some cosmetic damage to the nose.

Johnny Benson claimed his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory by taking the win in the Con-way Freight 200 Saturday afternoon at Michigan International Speedway. Benson, from nearby Grand Rapids, Michigan, held back three-time 2006 Truck Series winner Mark Martin to become the 17th driver to pick up wins in all three nationally touring NASCAR series. Benson, driving the No. 23 Exide Batteries Toyota, delivered his first series win in his 60th series start.
Benson took over the lead from Mark Martin on lap 73, and was forced to endure three late-race cautions before securing the victory. With clean air out front, Benson was able to choose his line, and he decided to run the bottom, forcing runner-up finisher Martin to try to make the high groove work. Former Michigan Cup Series winner Bobby Labonte piloted the No. 4 Dodge Motorsports Dodge to a third place finish, the best finish for a Dodge all season.
Todd Bodine survived a late-race scrape with Brendan Gaughan to make a charge through the top ten to come home fourth in the No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota. Matt Crafton rounded out the top five finishers in the No. 88 Menards/Energizer Chevrolet, his second top five finish of 2006. Rick Crawford was sixth in the No. 14 Circle Bar Truck Corral Ford, Ron Hornaday was seventh in the No. 33 Kevin Harvick, Inc. Chevrolet, Dennis Setzer was eighth in the GM FlexFuel Chevrolet, Terry Cook ninth in the Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford, and Jack Sprague rounded out the top ten in the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota. Erik Darnell was the highest Raybestos Rookie finisher, coming across the line 12th in the No. 99 Woolrich Ford. Mike Skinner started on the pole but overheating problems sent him to the pits for an unscheduled stop, relegating him to eleventh at the finish in the No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota.
There were a record-tying 8 cautions for a track record 29 laps, with two significant incidents on the afternoon. Timothy Peters got loose in turn four on lap 74 and overcorrected, sending his truck head-on into the SAFER barriers. There was significant damage to the nose of the truck, but Peters was checked and released from the infield care center. The second major incident was on lap 97 as Martin Truex, Jr. lost a left rear tire in turn three and spun into the wall, collecting hard-luck Kerry Earnhardt in the process. The record number of cautions held the race pace down to just 116.534 miles per hour.

After last week’s dominating performance at the Texas Motor Speedway, the No. 5 Toyota Tundra team headed to the Irish Hills in hopes of another strong performance. The team took the same truck which dominated the race in Texas and was hoping for the same result at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday.

|
|
|
The 22 team headed to Michigan needing a strong finish. The team’s finishes in the 2006 season are not indicative of its performance and the team was hoping to turn its season around at the two-mile speedway in the Irish Hills. Bill Lester knew he was going to have a full weekend of racing ahead of him as he was also going to attempt to qualify for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race.

It would be unfair to call a seven-time winning crew chief a journeyman but Rick Ren, who quarterbacked Johnny Benson to victory on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway, has flown under the radar for most of the past four-plus seasons. Ren, a bespectacled, old-school style technician, hadn't visited Victory Lane since 2001 when Travis Kvapil won the Silverado 350 at Texas Motor Speedway. (Ronda Greer Photo)

Rick Ren kept his team in front of Mark Martin's No. 6 Scotts Ford to lead driver Johnny Benson to his first truck series victory in the Con-way Freight 200. This earned him his first weekly WypAll Wipers Crew Chief of the Race award presented by Fastenal. Three judges; including Dave Rodman with NASCAR.com, Tony Eury Sr., and a WypAll Wipers representative decided Rick Ren deserved Crew Chief of the Race honors. (Ronda Greer Photo)

A surprisingly loose race truck proved too much for Ryan Moore and his Key Motorsports race team to cope with Saturday afternoon, leading to a disappointing 27th place finish in the Con-Way Freight 200, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race and producing a disappointing debut for Moore as a Rookie-of-the-Year candidate.

Considering how much progress the Orleans Racing team made during their two-day visit to Michigan International Speedway, Brendan Gaughan’s 16th place finish in the Con-way Freight 200 was a bitter pill to swallow. The instant Gaughan took to the 2.0-mile track in the first practice session he knew he was in for a challenging weekend. An evil vibration had the Las Vegas native hanging onto the steering wheel for dear life and it was all he could do just to bring it back to the garage in once piece.

Kraig Kinser brought the No. 46 U.S. Army Silverado to the checkered flag in 22nd place in the Con-Way Freight 200 at Michigan International Speedway. But the Raybestos Rookie was only "halfway" happy with is lead lap finish.

Upside-down is no place for a former NASCAR Busch Series champion to be - especially at the track he co-owns near his hometown. But that's where Johnny Benson found himself at midweek after his late model collided with a tire barrier at Berlin Speedway. He was unhurt except for an ego bruised before a hometown crowd. On Saturday, Benson completed the cycle of embarrassment to Victory Lane as he held off a charging Mark Martin to win Michigan International Speedway's Con-way Freight 200 and in the process record his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win. Benson, driving Bill Davis Racing's Exide Batteries Toyota, took the lead from Martin on the 73 of what turned out to be 102 laps around the 2.0-mile superspeedway, two laps added to the scheduled distance by the race's eighth caution, and held the point the rest of the way.

Team Australia’s Marcos Ambrose continued to add to his list of “firsts” in his NASCAR Craftsman Truck career when he started today’s Michigan 200 from the front row. Ambrose qualified second behind Mike Skinner after showing tremendous speed in his Team Australia/Aussie Vineyards Ford F-150 truck.

In his first NCTS start this season NASCAR Nextel Cup Driver Bobby Labonte scored Dodge’s and Bobby Hamilton Racing’s first top-five finish of the season in the Con-Way Freight 200 at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday afternoon. Labonte qualified his Dodge Motorsports Dodge in the seventh position earlier in the day and took the lead from Mark Martin on lap 40.

To be his hometown track, Michigan International Speedway has never been exactly kind to Jack Sprague. In four starts prior to this weekend, Sprague had captured two top-10 finishes and still admitted to being confused about where he should run on the wide, multi-grooved track. But this weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Sprague hoped it would be different as the sponsor of his truck was also the title race sponsor.

Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International driver Terry Cook made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCTS) debut right here at The Milwaukee Mile (TMM) in 1996. Cook has since made 225 starts, 208 consecutive since 1998. Many consider Cook a veteran of the series, who has five-career wins, one of which came at TMM in 2002. Since switching to a Ford in 2001, Cook has never finished outside the top 10 at TMM. His average finish over the last five races at TMM is 5.8.

The Con-way Freight 200 at Michigan International Speedway marked David Starr’s 150th start in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition. Honored by the milestone, Starr hoped that he would contend for a top spot at Michigan on a special day. But Starr would have his work cut out for him as the No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota lined up 28th for the Con-way Freight 200.

Bobby Hamilton Jr.’s bad luck started early in the Con-Way Freight 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday afternoon.

Matt Crafton started sixth, ran in the top-five for all of the 100-lap, 200-mile and finished a strong fifth place in the No. 88 Menards/Energizer Silverado at Michigan International Speedway.

Crafton moved to eighth in the series' point standings.

"I keep telling people I would have liked to have gotten my first win here, but have it been last year," Benson joked after the race. "It's been a very big week. We had a big fan club meeting on Tuesday, raced the late model at Berlin on Wednesday, raced go-karts on Thursday, and now to cap the week off with this is just great." (High Sierra Photo)

Matt Crafton, No. 88 Menards/Energizer Silverado, Qualified 6th:
"I was a little surprised today because my crew chief made some changes that I didn't know about. They put their heads together last night at dinner, and I told them to change whatever they needed to change, and had some suggestions for them. They changed some stuff and the truck drove 100 times better than yesterday, so we'll see what we have for the race today."

Mike Skinner scored his second consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Bud Pole Award by taking the top spot in qualifying for the Con-way Freight 200 at Michigan International Speedway. Skinner was nearly three tenths of a second quicker than the closest competitor as Toyota and Ford locked down the top five starting positions. Skinner's lap of 40.278 seconds/178.758 miles per hour in the No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota was good enough to handily beat the Wood/jtg Racing teammates Marcos Ambrose and Bobby East, who will start second and third respectively. Ambrose, who qualified third for the Truck Series race at Charlotte earlier in the season, will make his first career front row start after timing in at 40.562 seconds/177.506 miles per hour in the No. 20 Team Australia Ford.

Kraig Kinser, No. 46 U.S. Army Silverado, 4th in Final Practice:
"We picked up a ton of speed on our qualifying run. I really felt comfortable in the truck. We spent the first practice just getting used to the differences in the truck here at Michigan because I have raced here before in an ARCA car. I think we will be pretty solid in the race tomorrow, just have to stay out of trouble and finish all the laps of the race."

|
|
|
Pulling double-duty this weekend in the Truck Series and the Cup Series, Mark Martin, No. 6 Scotts F-150 was the top Ford in Truck Series practice. "The truck feels real good; we're not worried that much about qualifying. You know, we're not going to be up there for that, but for racing, I think we're in real good shape." Sylvania, Ohio native, Terry Cook, No. 10 Power Stroke Diesel International F-150, ran around the top 10 for most of practice.

Gaughan on Michigan:
"I like Michigan a lot. It has what I've always called the Michigan Merge where you drive in behind somebody and then you peel off two hundred feet apart with one guy in the top groove and one guy on the bottom and then you come right back together on the race track from being so far apart that the spotter says, 'Well, he's down there but I don't know if you're clear or not' because you can't tell."

One would think that a driver who had finished seventh at MIS just a year ago would need no further help on the two-mile oval, but Erin Crocker’s drive for racing keeps her wanting to build on the result which made her the second-highest female finisher in track history.

Marcos Ambrose has found his groove in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The rookie from Tasmania has completed 610 of 618 possible laps in the last three races, pumping new energy into the first-year team at Wood Brothers/JTG Racing.

Dennis Setzer on Michigan:
“Last year’s win here was very big for us and for Chevrolet. It was the win that got a fire lit under our team and we went on to win three out of the next five races after that. The win was particularly special because we were sponsored by Chevrolet Silverado last year and Detroit is the home base of GM. Our team was very proud to give Chevy their first Craftsman Truck Series victory there with the win.

Hamilton Jr. on MIS:
"There is always good racing at Michigan because the racing surface is so wide. We just need to really concentrate on getting our Fastenal Dodge down low onto the racetrack. Aerodynamically we just need to get them out of the air and that will make them fast. Whoever can stand on the gas longer all day long at Michigan is going to be the team to beat. The racetrack has a lot of grip with a lot of different grooves."
