NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series star Mike Skinner is the defending champion of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race and he's back to defend his title in '08. The race is run in conjunction with the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and has helped raise more than $1.6 million for local children's charities in Southern California.
"Tuesday in Long Beach was my first day to run with this year's field. I was really disappointed that I missed the four days of training that all the Toyota Pro/Celebrity racers go through together out at Willow Springs Raceway. Last year, when they told me that I needed to go through training, I thought to myself, 'Oh man, I don't have time to mess with all of that stuff'" - Mike Skinner
