Benson and Edwards win at Milwaukee
 

Johnny Benson came away with the win in the Camping World RV Sales 200 at the Milwaukee Mile for the third year in a row.  Friday night, Benson started in his Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota from the pole and ended the race in the same position for the win.  A caution came out on lap 146 due to light rain and Benson entered the pits in the third spot.  Benson left the pits in first place only to have the race red flagged due to lightning.  The race re-started with 50 laps remaining and Benson led the final 53 laps of the race. 

"It feels great," Benson said. "I could do almost anything I wanted. That last set of tires was awesome. This is way cool. I can't believe we won three in a row."

Saturday night at the Milwaukee Mile, Carl Edwards ended his year long winless streak in the Nationwide Series with the win in the Camping World RV Rental 250.  The win came after the reigning series champion had not won in 36 races.  The Roush Fenway Racing team switched Edwards' crew chief earlier this week and it did the trick. 

Edwards passed Clint Bowyer with 38 laps remaining in the race and held on to cross the finish line in first place.  The win was the first since Nashville during the 2007 season.  Edwards' win at Milwaukee is the 14th series win in his career. 

"It just feels good to win a race ... for our team, for everybody at the shop and all the guys who have been working hard and sticking with this program even though we haven't won a race in a long time," Edwards said. "It means a lot to have all that support. This win is a huge relief."  Currently, Edwards is in the 4th position in the points race.
