Thanks Basher !

When Benny & I raced together ... we called him Benny "The Jet" Moon. He is smoother than glass wishes it could be & cooler than the other side of the pillow. I've seen him run pole qualifying speeds on his warm up lap.

The year he raced in the Skip Barber Formula series, he won 4 times to Marco Andretti's one win. In his first year in USAC Ford Focus Midgets, he won their biggest race Turkey Night. When he ran NASCAR Late Models, he won his first race. He's got crazy talent, but he's the most humble, calm, easy to talk to fella you'll ever meet. I've known him since he was 12 years old winning Kart Championships. His family raised him well. We've stayed close long after we raced together. Benny is the first guy I thought about to shake down our new Track-Warrior, because he can tell you within a nanobyte of what the car needs.

In a 2009 NASCAR Talent Combine with Joe Gibbs Racing, Roush-Fenway Racing, Penske Racing & a scout for Hendrick Motorsports, Benny smoked every driver there & made it look effortless. If the economy hadn't tanked in 2008/2009 Benny would be a NASCAR Cup driver today. Some things just don't work out.

He driver coaches today, in addition to running his Dad's company. Of course he hasn't been in a real race car for about 7-8 years. So it will take a minute for him to get back up to speed. I wish we had more laps last Thursday. The dead battery & oil issues limited our runs. But he loved the car's grip & turn in. Told me it needed a bit less rear grip in the slow corners (which we tuned the Watt's Link for). If this works out where Benny races the Mustang in NASA TTU with me Crew Chiefing ... I may get to 500 wins after all. (I'm currently stuck at 498 personal wins - Not client wins)
