- Mike Skinner Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Atlanta is one of my best racetracks. Even though we have struggled there on raceday, we have always managed to qualify well. We normally struggle a great deal with the balance of the truck in the races at Atlanta, however we figured out a thing or two in California last week and should have a good conventional setup
going into Atlanta.”
“We have definitely improved the truck’s balance and I think we proved that in California. We are running the same truck we ran in California this weekend as well. If we can come out of Atlanta with a top-10 that would be great, anything more than that would be a great bonus to this Toyota Tundra team.”
