CTS Standing's Report

After last night's eventful Craftsman Truck race at Milwaukee, the standings have been shuffled a little bit.

Johnny Benson remains the leader, but now has a fifty point advantage over Todd Bodine. He gained thirty-five points on him because, 1)He won the race, and 2)He easily led the most laps.

Benson must be very happy to finally have some room to breath, creating some separation. Before the race, one mediocre night could have put him all the way back to fifth.

Here are the standings of the top-ten:

1. Johnny Benson 1617
2. Todd Bodine -50
3. Matt Crafton -67
4. Ron Hornaday -70
5. Rick Crawford -109
6. Mike Skinner -134
7. Terry Cook -176
8. Erik Darnell -182
9. Jack Sprague -189
10. Chad McCumbee -221

So, Crafton moves into third place, taking advantage of Hornaday getting into a wreck, and McCumbee falls all the way back to tenth after being in seventh at the beginning of the race.

There you go. Things are still fairly tight, especially in the lower-middle, but Benson can take advantage of his lead. He's been the most consistent driver this year, and despite him not completely dominating, he could run away with this thing. I still view Hornaday as the driver who could give him the biggest challenge.
