SKINNER ON RETURNING TO THE SUPERCUTS DODGE:
"I'm looking forward to getting back in the No. 12 Supercuts Dodge for FitzBradshaw Racing. I really like this track. Historically it's been a good track for me. I've led some laps, won two races here in the Craftsman Truck Series, I'm excited about this weekend. The competition is so tough now in the Busch Series that you really need to be on your game. I'd like to think if we can take some things from the truck race, hopefully we can get the Supercuts Dodge competitive, and have a good run Saturday night."
SKINNER ON PULLING TRIPLE-DUTY:
"I'm going to have an awful full plate this weekend, but I'm up for it. It's going to be pretty hectic going back and forth between both tracks. It's going to be a lot of fun.
I really think running the truck race the night before can only benefit my Busch car. I will have a full day's worth of practice plus a race under my belt before I even climb into the car. The set ups are not that far off between the two. I think we can learn a lot in the truck race on Friday night that will help us Saturday in the Busch car."
