| OFFICIAL RESULTS: Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway |
 On a night when he never had to make a single adjustment to his truck, Mike Skinner dominated the field to win his fourth NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race of the 2007 season by taking the checkered flag in the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway. Skinner started fourth but staked his claim early on, darting to the lead within the first ten laps and staying there for 133 of the race's 150 circuits. Skinner gave up the lead on a round of pit stops on lap 97, but then leader Todd Bodine didn't take tires and that allowed Skinner to blast the No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota back into the lead on the restart. From there, Skinner was able to open up a sizable advantage. (Nate Mecha/HSP)
