Skinner's on a roll

Mike Skinner won his second race in a row in the Craftsman Truck Series race Thursday night in Richmond.  I'm not sure what they've done to the trucks these last few weeks, but he's gone from - still trying to get a win to two wins in a row, hats off to the team.

The race had a record setting 12 cautions in it's finally run.  Richmond won't be on the schedule next year to make room for the Talladega race, if you ask me they could have just added one race, I'm going to miss the Richmond races.

With his two wins and Setzer's problems, Skinner has gained 199 points on points leaded Dennis Setzer in the last two weeks, he is now within 205 points.  While it may seem like a lot of points, it's not impossible to overcome, just look at the last two weeks.

Ted Musgrave finished 4th and gained a bunch of points thanks to Setzer's tire trouble.  Setzer had damage to his truck when he had a tire go down and it damaged the sway bar, he finished 34th.  Musgrave went into the race 143 points behind Setzer, now is only 49 points behind.  In an interview after the race, Musgrave didn't seem to be too happy with his points gain, he was rather matter-of-fact about it, as he said, they'll just keep trying to cut away at the points deficit.  Nothing cocky or over-confident in that statement, in fact I would have thought he would have been happier than he seemed.
