Mike Skinner: The Gun Slinger

Former 1995 craftsman truck series champ Mike skinner is one to never take a situation lying down. So what if he was "Too old to start"? He's gonna try for it anyway. So what if he's not in top notch equipment, or even just the second car? Didn't matter. A Driver who despite all odds, managed to beat them all, until hardheadness and bad luck prevented him from rolling the dice twice.
This is the story of a californian badass. This is the story, of Mike Skinner.

He’s the most deserving of all the multi-season, full-time cup drivers who never won a points race

[@ClumsyCardboard]

For sure, he was overdue several times for a plate race win at the very least.

[@trevhawe]

Great job!

[@ClumsyCardboard]

Thanks trev! Mike was a true badass.

[@danielfoster3642]

Mike Skinner definitely was an interesting driver.

[@ClumsyCardboard]

That he was. Glad he made the most of the chances he got. Shame he and Dale were so hardheaded about their team situation.

Skinner also had a hard hit to the front stretch wall during the 2001 Pepsi 400, just 1 week before the Chicagoland crash

[@ClumsyCardboard]

He too was one tough customer.

[@TheMrtgamer]

So, just for future reference... The Ron Hornaday truck was owned by Earnhardt, NOT RCR

[@ClumsyCardboard]

I had figured I might've fumbled that. Thank you for the correction!

2001 was a tough year for Childress

[@jessederlin]

[@ClumsyCardboard]
