[MIKE'S REMARKS:] This race team probably deserved five or six wins by now... We've been really close so many times. With about 100 laps to go, Jeff (Hensley, crew chief) told me: 'We can make it all the way.' And I told somebody to slap Jeff. I said: 'I'm not doing that.' Last year we did that and lost the race. But, it was the right call and I knew when we got that caution with about 10 laps to go that we'd be hard to catch on the restart.

Even after finding himself in 7th place on lap 149, the Susanville, Calif. native methodically passed truck after truck. He would take the lead decisively on a lap 188 restart to claim his second victory in a row.] This Toyota Tundra would go anywhere I wanted it to go ... This is a great race track. We could run about 3 grooves tonight. - Mike Skinner
