Mike Skinner is a former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champ who returned to the series to drive for Toyota. This season he's had a very fast truck but something always seems to happen to kill his finishes. Skinner won the pole of Friday night's Sams Town 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Will his luck change?
Mike Skinner-#5 Toyota dominated the race. He led the first part of the race. Truck series veteran Rick Crawford-#14 Circle Bar Truck Stop Ford led the middle part of the race. But Skinner took over and he had a big enough lead that it looked like he had the race won.
But when a Jack Sprague-#60 Con-Way Freight Toyota spin brought out a caution with six laps left, that tightened up the field and set up a green/white/checker finish. Skinner was unable to hold off Todd Bodine-#30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota. Bodine passed Skinner on the final lap and won the race. Also, Bodine still leads the points race.
