Mike Skinner’s Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:
“I really like Texas Motor Speedway. With Justin Boots Company being in Fort Worth, it really makes it special for me because I have a great relationship with them.”
“Texas is a good track for us, in that we always manage to run good there. We should have won there a few times in the past, but we just couldn’t capitalize on it. Our goal is to keep the train on the tracks right now and to continue to get top-five and top-10 finishes at each race. We have been able to do this at
all the races so far, so we will just keep on trucking in that direction for now.”
