NCTS driver Mike Skinner to visit



Pull those belts tight… Ooops, wrong sport.

What do you say about golf? “Fore!”

NASCAR and golf seem to be hand-in-hand for drivers (no pun intended) and Monday will be no different.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Mike Skinner will be at Hurricane, W.Va., on Monday for the annual Toyota/Special Olympics West Virginia Golf Classic at Sleepy Hollow Country Club.

Skinner currently sits in 2nd place in the NCTS, four points behind leader Ron Hornaday going into Saturday’s race at Louden, N.H.

Mike will play in the tournament, which raises money for the West Virginia Special Olympics.

Racing note: Last year at New Hampshire International Speedway, Skinner qualified at 129.626 miles per hour.

Saturday’s race at NHIS will be televised at 3 p.m. on SPEED.
