Ran a race in 2008 with the NASCAR Camping World East Series, what is now ARCA East. Big difference in competition. Field was stacked, even sent cars home. #NASCAR #ARCA #NASCARRegional #GreenvillePickensSpeedway #ShortTrackRacing

Happened across some old racing articles from back in the day

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@DirtDobberMedia Joe Williams, late 80s maybe, or around 90, Late Model Stock, rather Henry Furr's version. My dad ran with him.

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@DirtyMoMedia By far the best Atlanta

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@joe_srigley That makes sense. When I raced, I went by "Buster Bennet" which had been my preferred name growing up, so I understand your point. I was unaware of the distinction with Butterbean.

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@joe_srigley Im confused how "Butterbean Queen" is different from Cleetus or Squirrel? It has been his name in racing for years. They arent making it up anymore than the other two. However, I agree that the over usage of nicknames is ridiculous.

@IamDijami 2003 & 2015 Panthers

@RodneyChilders4 It seems like five years of chasing a 54 between you and Clayton. Im just thankful you guys didn't race asphalt as much, at least there I had a chance of you guys not showing up!

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@RodneyChilders4 I couldn't really remember. All the beatings just kinda run together at this point......🤣😝

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@SethEggert91 @StartAndParkCar @LowLightNLeft this looks like it hurt...rumor is you were driving, true?

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@MattWeaverRA Absolutely....

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@PanthersAnalyst Yep! Taking a couple young fans to their first @Panthers game in AZ!

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@LandonHuffman Would have given many things to be able to have raced in this era instead of the 90's-2000's

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@ThePostman68 @BowmanGray33 Steve you interviewed me in 2004 at Concord as well....and I've long since hung up the wheel and you are still covering races!

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@MattWeaverRA It was an amazing place to race. I must have stopped running before you came through. So much history there especially back in the Big 10 days. Awesome track.

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@LandonHuffman It would. Ask Ronnie Bassett about his brother's wreck there in 2012.

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

@MattWeaverRA Huset's is a tremendous facility. Certainly worth the trip. Puts on a great show

[Denton Bennet @BennetDenton]

It begins and ends with track management. Period. As a former racer who lived it with my home track Concord Motor Speedway, a place I grew up at with my dad racing then myself, a place I walked as they were adding the dog leg and was there when it was dirt, the future depends on management alone. Kevin isnt the right person to keep Hickory going. And it pains me to watch another track I raced on going south.
