Racing career

Team owner career

Benton's first dip into team ownership came in the early part of his career, when he fielded cars for himself when he competed in a No. 82Fordin theARCA Re/Max Seriesin 2000.

Benton then partnered with owner-driver Brack Maggard's ARCA team in2007to formRAB Racingwith Brack Maggard. Benton became the majority owner, and the name change to RAB stood for Benton's initials. The team continued to field Maggard's No. 65DodgewithJustin Marks,who joined the team late in2006,continuing as the driver.

RAB Racing would begin in NASCAR in 2008, fielding a Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series team withJohn Wes Townleydriving the No. 09FordwithZaxby'ssponsorship, which Townley brought to the team. They would leave after2009,with the team starting the 2010 season without a sponsor.Scott Riggswas supposed to drive the car full-time, but was quickly replaced by any driver who brought sponsorship in order to keep the team afloat. The team was likely to shut down at some point that year or at the end of the year, but the team pulled off an upset win in theMontrealrace with road course ringerBoris Saidin an exciting photo finish withMax Papis,which saved the team from closing.

They later switched toToyotafor the rest of his owner career.
