This week's race truck for the event at O'Reilly Raceway Park is Chassis No. 5-76. This is the same truck Mike Skinner drove to a fifth place finish at Mansfield Motorsports Speedway in May.
- Calling the shots
Interim crew chief Joe Lax will again sit on top of the pit box this week. Lax most recently guided rookie Michael Annett to two wins and four top-10 finishes in five ARCA RE/MAX Series starts.
- Former Winner
Skinner has two wins at the Indiana short track. The 1995 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion won the first two events at ORP from the pole position. Not only did he start and finish first in both races, he also led every lap. No other Craftsman Truck Series competitor has since matched that feat.
- Showing his Talent
Skinner will head to Nashville, Tenn., to throw out the first pitch at Greer Stadium Monday, July 28. The Toyota Tundra driver will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Nashville Sounds game.
- Listen and watch
The Power Stroke Diesel 200, presented by AAA Hoosier Insurance is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. EST Friday, July 25. It will broadcast on SPEED (TV), MRN (radio) and Sirius Satellite Radio (Ch. 128).
