introduced an updated body style for the Truck Series, starting at Daytona. The 2019-2021 bodies would still be legal at all tracks except Daytona and Talladega. Benning, unable to afford the new body, would skip the season opener at Daytona, the first time he had done so since 2008. Benning and team would not appear until the second annual Bristol Dirt Race, bringing sponsorship Circle B Diecasts aboard. Benning would fall short in his heat race, leaving him as one of the two DNQ's. Despite the setback, Circle B agreed to return to the team for Knoxville, which again, Benning missed. Driver and team's next attempt would come at Pocono Raceway, but rain washed out qualifying, again leaving the 6 on the outside looking in. Missing Pocono would also break the threeway tie between Benning, Matt Crafton and Johnny Sauter for most starts at Pocono. Benning would make one last attempt at Richmond, again falling short of qualifying. On February 14, 2023, it was revealed that Benning would attempt to qualify for the race at Daytona driving the No. 46 Toyota for G2G Racing, replacing Johnny Sauter, who was originally on the entry list for the event.
