Mike Skinner began racing at Susanville (Calif.) Speedway in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until 20+ years later that he was given an opportunity to race in NASCAR.
After moving to North Carolina in 1983 to pursue racing, Mike worked as a crew member on a NASCAR Cup Series team and raced late models on the side until he was noticed by Richard Childress. Childress hired him to drive the famed No. 3 truck in 1995 for the inaugural season of the NASCAR Truck Series. Mike won the series’ first race and went on to win the first championship.
By 1997, he was promoted to compete full-time in the Cup Series for Richard Childress Racing. Over the next seven seasons, Skinner collected the Rookie of the Year title, won six pole awards, and a pair of exhibition races. In 2004, he signed with Toyota in a move that took him back to his roots in the NASCAR Truck Series. The pair went on to secure countless victories and pole awards until his retirement. In 2013, Skinner was recognized for his accomplishments with his induction into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame.
Skinner has done anything but slow down since his retirement from racing. Today, he joins his wife Angie Skinner as host of Skinner Round-Up on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. He spent a season as “The American” on The Grand Tour – Amazon Prime’s remake of BBC’s ever-popular Top Gear. He continues to compete on the vintage racing circuit with the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) and has driven NASCAR-style trucks at various races and festivals around the world. He set and improved the record for a NASCAR-style vehicle at the famed Goodwood Festival of Speed five-times over, and took home the sword (and victory!) in a Pro Late Model at the Bristol Short Track Nationals at the age of 61. He continues his philanthropic work and support through “Skinner Round-Up for Charity” events, and now, he’s available to lend his voice to promote your brand or product through Skinner 5 Media.
