    <font color="#3366ff">Cedric Benson's eyes grew wide. The subtle tone of his voice suddenly boomed as he envisioned making a quick cut to the outside and accelerating past the competition.

    The Bears running back was referring to his passion for racing BMWs, not his love for playing football.

    <font color="#3366ff">"Who is Cedric Benson? I'm nobody in particular," he said. "I'm just a Southern boy who's old school. I like to be at home with my two Rottweilers. I like things to be real simple."

    Starting a racing career doesn't fit in the "simple" category, but Benson is intent on doing so. Parchman laughed when told about Benson's aspirations, then told a story of Benson crashing on a moped during his high school days.

    "I made him work out all skinned up and bleeding," Parchman said. "He thought I was the meanest man in the world. Then he went to college and he got this sports bike. I told him to park it in my garage and I wouldn't let him ride it."

    Benson has put limits on himself in his latest venture.

    "Not until the off-season," he said. "But I'm going to do it. You have to live a little, right?" </font>
