Ho-hum Skinner wins another pole

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/11/2007 - Lebanon, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Skinner captured the pole for this evening's Toyota Tundra 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at the Nashville Superspeedway. The 1995 series champion circled the 1.333-mile cement oval in 30.061 seconds (159.635 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Skinner's eighth of the season and record 40th of his truck career. No other driver has more than one pole victory in 2007.

Starting alongside Skinner will be three-time series champion Jack Sprague, who posted a time of 30.128 seconds.

Defending series champion Todd Bodine (30.206) and Joey Clanton (30.215) will make up row two.

Skinner continues to dominate the Craftsman Truck Series leaderboard. The No.5 Bill Davis Toyota driver leads the series in points (2,346), driver rating (121.8), winnings ($490,750), laps led (811), wins (4), poles (8), top- fives (11) and races led (14).

Yet with all of these statistics, his lead is only 77 points over Ron Hornaday Jr. The Palmdale, CA native has also had a great year winning three times and earning 13 top-10s. His win total and top-10s are already more than he collected in all of 2006.

Hornaday Jr. is coming off a dominating win at O'Reilly Raceway Park, leading 90 of 201 laps en route to a 0.350-second win over Johnny Benson. Skinner finished 20th in the race, the first time all season that he failed to crack the top-10.

The race is set to drop the green flag tonight at 6:30 p.m. (et).
