NASCAR: Mike Skinner wins the rain shortened truck race in Kansas

By ,

Ron Hornaday (Chevy No 33) had the pole Saturday afternoon at the start of the O'Reilly Auto Parts 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck race at the Kansas Speedways but rain put a hold on the event after 52 laps. Sunday was no better so the race was once again postponed until Monday afternoon when it started with a four-hour delay! Unfortunately, for the few hundred fans who came to see the conclusion, it was once again shortened some 35 laps to the end. Mike Skinner (Tundra No 5) who had started second was declared winner, the first victory ever for the newly formed Randy Moss Motorsport team. Veteran Johnny Benson (Tundra No 10) had to settle for second place while Brian Scott (Tundra No 16) was third. Pole sitter Hornaday finally finished fourth and substitute Brian Ickler (driving the No 51 Tundra usually driven by Kyle Busch) came in fifth. Skinner is now the leader of the championship with 25 points over Hornaday. Todd Bodine sits in third. The next time the trucks will be racing is at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C. on May 15. photo: NASCAR - Getty Images
