The entry list for the 2012 Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Indoor Races continues to grow. The event's popularity, among racers, and fans throughout the Northeast, also continues to grow. While it has drawn a literal who's who among local racers, this week it received a commitment from a nationally know driver from NASCAR.
Johnny Benson, who has won in all three of NASCAR's major series, Camping World Truck, Nationwide, and Sprint Cup, has announced he will be coming to Atlantic City in February. Benson will be driving a car prepared by Lou Cicconi Jr., a legend in small car racing.
The former Rockingham race winner has been competing, recently, in the ISMA Super Modifieds, taking home a win at Seekonk on October 2nd. Ironically it was Cicconi who chased him most of the race.
Benson is hopeful of returning to the Camping World Truck Series, full-time, in 2012, so the Atlantic City race could become his tune-up for Daytona.
As I stated before this event is becoming more, and more, popular with both fans and competitors every year, so make sure you get your tickets early. They would certainly make a great Christmas present.
