Mike Skinner’s Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Nashville Superspeedway:

“I love going to Nashville. It is a very exciting place for us to race. The racetrack and the fans treat us great there. Last year we ran well, even though the finish was not so good. I am looking forward to racing there again this year, hopefully with a different outcome though.”

“Nashville is an important race to us because Toyota is big there. We always have a ton of Toyota employees show up and we hope we can put on another great show this year.”
