Johnny Benson Seriously Injured in Crash
From Jayski-
Johnny Benson injured at Berlin Raceway: Johnny Benson Jr. came off Turn 3 at Berlin Raceway and met up with another car during Saturday's ISMA Supermodifieds race. Then came the sight no one wanted to see at the track: Benson's car bursting into flames. When Benson's car came to rest between Turns 3 and 4 after the collision with Larry Lehnert, the wing of Lehnert's vehicle was knocked sideways and Benson's car drove airborne over Lehnert's car. Once on the track, the main cab of Benson's supermodified vehicle caught fire. Track personnel raced over to the vehicle and put out the flames as quickly as possible. Benson was awake and alert when pulled from the car and was transported to an area hospital. Berlin owner Mike Blackmer could not specify which hospital Benson was sent to, citing privacy laws.(Michigan Live)
AND: A spokesperson for Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids confirms that Benson is in serious condition.(

Thoughts and prayers to Johnny Benson for a quick recovery. Saw the crash on ESPN earlier. Said he was in fair condition, broken wrist, punctured lung and bruised ribs.

I hated to hear about Johnny losing his Truck ride, but this! Well wishes and prayers go out to him. I've liked JB since his ASA days.
