Part of a team of more than a dozen people, the RBR pit crew refuels and changes tires on their No. 92 entry at Darlington Raceway Saturday.
By MARK GILCHRIST Chief Photographer Weeks of preparation and 200 miles of burning rubber, thick smoke and full- throttle excitement brought an 11th–place finish at Darlington Raceway Saturday for the Cerro Gordo team of Ricky Benton Racing. It was the third race in a hot season for RBR, after a third-place finish at Daytona Feb. 18 and 16th place in Phoenix Feb. 25. Driver Clay Rogers has steered the team to a fourth-place point standing among 55 teams, only eight points away from the top slot. The Bentons began racing two decades ago, and after years on the local and re- gional levels – and winning the USAR series cup in 2002 – this is their biggest season yet, running in the NASCAR Camp- ing World Truck Series. And running in the front of the pack. Ricky Benton and his family are proud to call Columbus County home. They have helped organize Dixie Youth Baseball since the early 1980s and hosted the league’s championship tournament last year. They have also organized a large golf tournament in South Carolina for the past 15 years to raise money for the N.C. Boys and Girls Homes. The Bentons are known throughout the Southeast with 35 tire dealerships and some 700 wholesale clients. They met many of their employees and clients in South Carolina Saturday, as the company hosted a picnic for more than 3,000 people behind the raceway. It was a day to remember, and included a 150-200 mph Dance at Darlington.

You must also determine the best way to apply the pesti- cide for the greatest level of control. Once you have determined the pesticide you need to pur- chase, the next concern should be safety — safe for you as an applicator and also safe for others in the area. The product should be safe for our environment. It should be handled prop- erly, applied properly, and stored properly. Without pesticides it would be extremely difficult to produce the food that is needed. It would be even more difficult to pro- duce the quality of food that consumers have become accus- tomed to. It does not matter if you are a farmer or a homeowner. If you purchase and use pesticides, be sure you use them properly.
