Mike Skinner’s Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Memphis Motorsports Park:
“Memphis is a neat track. Normally it is brutally hot there, but so far this year the weather looks like it is going to be pretty good. Memphis has a great fan base for us BDR guys. Bill Davis Trucking is based right outside Memphis in Batesville, Ark., so we always have a ton of people rooting for us. We are taking
the same truck we ran last week in Milwaukee and it has run very well this year. Hopefully we can get out of Memphis with another top-10 finish.”
