| Kroger 250 - Official Results |
 It's a feat that has only been done four times previously in the history of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series - three consecutive victories. Following the conclusion of Saturday's Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway, it has now been done five times, and one man has now done it twice. Mike Skinner dominated the field by leading all but six laps to score his 22nd career win and his second victory at Martinsville. In a race that featured 15 caution flags for numerous incidents on the track, Skinner could often stretch out a comfortable advantage on his closest pursuers. On the only long green flag run of the day, Skinner was able to open up a nearly three second advantage on a resurgent Todd Bodine. But the numerous cautions kept consecutive green flag laps to a minimum. However, even that was not enough to take Skinner out of the zone. (VPS Motorimages Photo)
