Skinner makes it three in a row
Mike Skinner did it again, it seems like the truck series is becoming the Mike Skinner Show. Not only has he won three in a row, he's won three in a row from the pole. Jack Sprague is the only other winner in the truck series this season so far, but Skinner is on a role.
There were lots of spins in the race and surprisingly, some of them didn't bring out cautions. I always have a hard time understanding exactly when NASCAR deems it a caution when a truck goes spinning, sometimes a caution will come out and other times it won't.
I haven't heard anything about the pit crew member that got knocked down by his teams truck yet either. It was Cook's truck and a NASCAR official basically pulled the guy from being run over when Cook backed up, at least that's what it looked like on TV. I haven't seen a single thing mentioned about that, but it's always difficult to find updates and detailed news about the truck series.
If the truck race is any indication of what's to come for the Cup series, I see a lot of tires being cut by the splitters, especially in the corners.
Your thoughts?

I gotta agree, ythe "Braintrust" in Daytona Beach modeled the CON(Car Of Now) after the the Daytona prototype, where the pretty much run single file. They have FAILED to realize in the "Big boy" series we Rub,Bump, and Lean on other competitors...like that Alan Jackson song goes...It's a work in progress. let's see how the "spindoctors" go Monday

The Trucks aren't as racey as some people here make them out to be. Martinsville was a wreckfest, certainly, but it never got going as a competitive race. Daytona has been the only good race for the Trucks since 2000.
The series is suffering even more because it's now a one-make series, with no prospect of a non-Toyota make winning a race without a Truckwacker stepping in.
