Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at
Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“Atlanta is a great track
for us. We always seem to
run rather well there, at
least over the last few
years anyway. Last year we
got the pole and the win,
and I would love nothing
more than to do that again
this year.
“We are off to a rough
start so far, but as long as
we can get our focus to
top-10 finishes like we did
last year I think we will be
OK. The guys are doing a
great job on this Tundra. We
have just had some bad luck
the first two races; there
has been nothing really that
we have done wrong. It’s
just one of those things
where we have just been the
unlucky truck. Things will
come around. This is too
good of a team for it not
to.”
