Nascar Driver Mike Skinner, best known up till this point for winning a meaningless race in Japan about 12 years ago, finally appeared to gain some career momentum with a 2nd-to-last place finish at Michigan on Sunday.
"Our team really needed this", said Skinner, known as "Angie's Bus-driver" to 2 or 3 fans. "After all those vibrations and ignition problems, it was great to come out of here with just a transmission issue…or rear gear, or whatever the hell it was."
Skinner went on to say that he envisions a day when the 60 car finishes in the top-40 on a regular basis, with an occasional top-35 run "…when the handling isn't acting up."
"We're showing everybody what a team with no money, no sponsors, and no driver can do" said owner Bob Germain. When informed that Big Red is, in fact, the team's sponsor, Germain shrugged his shoulders and appeared to start crying.
Skinner, formerly known as That Guy Dale Earnhardt Sr. Hated, said that he's most excited about the possibility of winning $1,000,000 in the Sprint Summer Showdown. When asked how he qualified for the prize, Skinner responded, "Well, we haven't ACTUALLY qualified OFFICIALLY yet, I just know that Kyle Busch will list us as his charity of choice."
