Mike Skinner’s Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Kentucky Speedway:
“We ran good at Kentucky last year. We had the race won until another competitor rammed us on the restart and knocked us not only out of the win, but out of the race. I am looking forward to running here again this year, but hopefully with some better luck. My guys have been working real hard and we hope to bring it
home this time around.”
