Skinner Quotes: "That's awesome, man. I can't thank WIX Filters enough, not only for their participation in this award but when my son started racing these pro trucks I called the shop and they sent me a big stack of those WIX Filters and he won five race in a row. So there must be some good luck in there somewhere. But that's awesome that we were able to pick up that award again. Hopefully we can clinch the most laps led and the most poles. I think we've clinched the pole award. Hopefully we can get the most laps led at Homestead."
