After successfully making 7 of the 8 races they attempted in 2008. The team ran the full Truck season making 24 of the 25 races and finishing 21st in points. Benning once again attempted the 2010 Daytona 500 but failed to qualify. The team attempted to race the 2010 Truck season full time in the #57 and had a good degree of success, gaining a locked in position in owner points. For 2011 the team struggled to make some races early in the year. Later on the team began fielding a second truck, the #75 starting at Iowa.
