The Official Website of Mike Skinner - NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Driver
Description
Mike Skinner’s rise to greatness is unlike that of most past NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champions. Growing up in Ontario, Calif., he did not have the resources that most NASCAR racers had in the South. He did not get behind the wheel of a race car until 1976 at Susanville Speedway, a half-mile dirt track in California. From that moment, he knew he wanted to make racing his career.
After winning his third track championship at Susanville in 1976, Skinner decided that he needed to move east to race against the best of the best. He competed with other NASCAR hopefuls in the Carolinas and Virginia trying to get his big break. His hard work paid off, and he received his first NASCAR Cup Series ride at Martinsville Speedway on April 27, 1986, at the age of 28.
It took another nine years for Skinner to get another chance to race full-time in one of NASCAR’s top series. Skinner was named the driver of the No. 3 GM Goodwrench truck in 1995, the inaugural year of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Skinner won the first race of the season at Phoenix International Raceway, and his fellow competitors immediately knew he would be a force to be reckoned with every weekend. Skinner went on to post eight wins, 17 top-five finishes, and 18 top-10 finishes en route to winning the first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship.
