EPISODE 184 -- JOHNNY BENSON PART 1

Published: March 2, 2022, 11 a.m.

b'In the first of what will be three installments of our interview with Johnny Benson, he talks about the influence his father had on his life and career, rising up through the ranks despite the fact he was happy where he was at, his inauspicious Busch Series debut, beating Harry Gant for his first win in that division, his consistency winning out over Chad Little\\u2019s flashes of brilliance in the 1995 Busch Series title fight and agreeing to move to Winston Cup with Bahari Racing.

Hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid then pick through the September 22, 1994 issue of Winston Cup Scene. Rusty Wallace wins in a crazy Winston Cup finish at Dover, while Young Gun Johnny Benson holds off Grizzled Ol\\u2019 Veteran Harry Gant for the first victory of his Busch Series career.

The cover date on this issue came just two days after a VERY important date in NASCAR history.
