Mike Skinner Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on Racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We normally run pretty well at Charlotte, but we are kind of scratching our heads a bit about our aero package right now. All three BDR teams are taking different aero package to Charlotte this week, and hopefully we can get things going in the right direction and back running strong week in and week out.”
