Benjamin said Benjamin Motorsports missed the PASS championship by 16 points last season, and is determined to best that record this year.
"I'm really excited about the 2009 season. I feel it will be an excellent season. We have a great car, and a great crew," said Benjamin. "With Irving coming back again is a big boost for my team and our confidence. Our entire crew is coming back from last season as well."
The 2009 Irving season begins July 11 at Thompson Speedway in Connecticut and ends September 19 at the White Mountains Speedway in New Hampshire.
Benjamin's crew is something of a family affair, with brothers and cousins helping keep the Ford Fusion fine-tuned. The team owner is his father, Ron Benjamin, his Crew Chief is Corey Reynolds, Car Chief is Kevin McDaniel, the Spotter is Bruce Benjamin, the mechanic is Marcus Benjamin, engine engineers are Alfred Reynolds and Wayne Charrier, mechanics are Nate Littlefield and Chuck Thompson and tire specialist is Buster Bean.
"The PASS Series gives audiences a chance to cheer on their hometown heroes," said Dube. "The season runs all summer long, and if you haven't been to a race before check one out this summer. The races are exciting, the tracks are family-oriented, and the events are local and affordable."
Irving Oil, with U.S. headquarters in Portsmouth, N.H., and Canadian headquarters in Saint John, N.B., is a leading regional refining and marketing company that serves retail, commercial, industrial and residential customers in Eastern Canada and New England with a range of finished energy products and complementary services.
