Vaughn Photo) Countdown to 300; Musgrave Wins 200th at Memphis: Musgrave, who started his No. 1 Team Mopar Dodge on the inside of the third row, battled five other drivers in an extremely competitive race over the .75-mile oval. Musgrave ultimately led 102 of the 200 laps, taking the lead for good at lap 187 from Bud Pole winner Jon Wood, who earlier set at one-lap qualifying record of 86.097 mph. The final top three - Musgrave, Travis Kvapil and Dennis Setzer - will suit up for next week's 300th race at Dover International Speedway as will at least six other drivers who participated in race No. 200. Manufacturers' Standings: Chevrolet Earns First Win Toyota continues to lead all manufacturers in points (48) and wins (four). Mike Skinner has three victories and Jack Sprague has one. Ren Ties Record For Wins With Different Drivers The win was the 12th of Ren's career, tying him with Fred Graves for fourth all-time. All 12 of Graves' wins were with Hornaday. Ren has five wins with Johnny Benson (No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota), three with Andy Houston, two with Travis Kvapil (No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford) and one with Carelli. Skinner Looks For Fifth Straight Pole: Mike Skinner (No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota) grabbed his fourth consecutive pole last Friday, but is still a ways from matching his own series record. In 1995, the series' inaugural year, Skinner put together a streak of eight consecutive poles, a record that still stands. Skinner's first pole came at Tucson Raceway Park in the series' second race. He went on to earn the pole in seven of the next eight events - qualifying was rained out at I-70 Speedway. The streak was broken by Ron Hornaday Jr., who grabbed the top spot at Colorado National Speedway in the 11th race. Despite winning eight straight poles, Skinner did not always start first. A series rule inverted the field for several races. During the stretch, Skinner won four races. Mansfield To Host Parade: The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series transporters will participate in a parade through the city of Mansfield before parking at Mansfield Motorsports Park. The parade will begin at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 24 at Sears at Richland Mall. The transporters will proceed to Park Avenue W in downtown Mansfield for the Mansfield Street Festival from 4-8 p.m. before heading to the track.
