Wow.

Benson in the #51 at Milwaukee? Johnny Benson might have a one-shot deal at next Friday's Truck race at Milwaukee Mile thanks to [Kyle] Busch. "That really stunk, because I would have liked to have seen last year's champion keep his ride," Busch said. "But unfortunately, money woes there took him out of that deal. "If I could, I would have stepped out (of my truck) this week, but too much stuff with (primary sponsor) Miccosukee and I couldn't do it. I would have liked to give Johnny my truck ride -- I have enough to do. That didn't quite work out, but I think we are going to get it worked out where he can drive mine at Milwaukee."(MLive.com)(6-13-2009)

I can't stand Kyle, but this is a very classy move on his part. I can hardly believe it.

Yep it's a good gesture on his part. Good way for him to try to make amends for his stupid Nashville antics.
Now if he really wants to be a class act .... he should give up his truck ride to Benson
But we know that won't happen.

Hopefully Johnny will feel up it. He had a nasty crash at Berlin Raceway >Johnny Benson, Jr. awake and alert following crash at Berlin Raceway - Update

More on Benson's Accident: [Following the accident] the Life EMS emergency response crew, along with Berlin Raceway officials and safety team, worked carefully to extract Johnny Benson from his race car. Benson was awake and alert during the process and gave race fans a wave when loaded into the ambulance. "He was pretty sore, but he seemed to be doing well last night when I talked to him," Johnny Benson Sr. said. "The car's driver side hit the wall hard, and it's a testament to the Hans (head and neck safety) device and the safety seat in the supermodified car that held him in place so well. I have to commend the safety crew and ambulance crew at Berlin Raceway for their quick response - they did their job well, putting the fire out quickly and taking care of Johnny." Benson Sr. said the fuel line was cut in two when it was pinched between the rear axle and the frame. The alcohol-based fuel that these supermodified cars use burns blue and very hot, and Benson managed to come out of it with barely any burns due to the quick response by the safety crew. The frame of the car was not bent badly, and all of the safety aspects of the car held up well, which allowed Benson to escape without major injuries.(Berlin Raceway PR) see earlier reports about the accident on the Camping World Truck Series Site.(6-14-2009)

that would be awesome if he'd be willing to do that after Johnny is healed

It just dawned on me that Kyle isn't even scheduled for the Milw race..... Ickler is. So how can Kyle offer it to JB? doesn't make sense?
