Mike Skinner’s Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“I am really excited to go to Michigan. We have run very well all year and hope to keep it that way this weekend. My guys are doing a phenomenal job on and off the track, and hopefully I can reward them soon with another win.”
“We have been in contention at every race all year long, but here lately it seems that they are just barely slipping away. We normally run pretty well at Michigan, so maybe we can bring it home this weekend.”
