Mike Skinner completely dominated Saturday night’s Built Ford Tough 225 leading 135 of 150 laps to earn his series-leading fourth victory of the season.
With the victory, Skinner became just the second driver 50 years or older to win a series race and set a record by leading his 13th consecutive race every one of the year. He celebrated his 50th birthday two weeks ago.
Skinner’s championship lead grew to 164 points over Ron Hornaday Jr., who finished 10th.
NASCARBud needs a new pitch man, but Lee Spencer says Kurt Busch and others are proof beer deals aren’t always good for the driver.

school.
Although NASCAR’s Jim Hunter might not think increased drug testing is necessary, the suspesion of Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike earlier this week is a definite topic for discussion out a ChicagoLand Speedway.
Fike was arrested on drug charges and was found with heroin and paraphenalia in his possession. NASCAR suspended …
