Mike Skinner won his first Craftsman Truck Series victory of the season on Saturday night in the Qwik Liner Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Skinner took the lead from Erik Darnell on the final lap and edged out Darnell by two-hundredths of a second for his 25th career series victory.

“Skinner got a run and I tried to hold him off. I ran those last two laps wide open and I’m sure he did too. His truck was just a little bit better than ours on a restart.” Darnell said.

“Erik's (Darnell) truck was awfully good. That 6 was right up my butt. I knew I wasn't going to wreck to win the race. I was going to push him, bounce off of him, do whatever I needed to do but he's a friend, he's a class act and he has a great future in this business.” Skinner said.

Matt Crafton finished third, John Andretti fourth and Ron Hornaday finished fifth.

Johnny Benson cut a right front tire on lap 64 of the race. He was done for the night and finished 27th and now holds a 1 point lead over Hornaday in the series standings.

“I hate to see Johnny do that. He was running very hard. I saw he didn’t put tires on there at the beginning and I blew a tire here last time.” Hornaday said.
