Benson's got a magic touch

Johnny Benson NASCAR displays his guitar trophy after winning Saturday at Nashville. The Craftsman Truck Series has become known for competitive racing and multiple winners each season. There have been seven different winners in the first eight races this season. But now Johnny Benson is putting his own personal lock on Victory Lane. His victory at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday was his third straight and fourth in the past five races.

Maybe Benson's success is because he's leaving nothing to chance.

"My youngest daughter [Mikayla], the last three wins she has rubbed on the truck before the race," he said. "Before the race, I was like, 'Get over there and rub on the truck 'cause it's not that great.'

"Thanks to her, that worked out great."
