The 1995 Truck Series Champion Gains One Position in the Championship Points Standings

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (June 29, 2009) – Dealing with extreme heat in the Memphis area, Mike Skinner took to the track on Saturday afternoon, looking to capture the final Elvis trophy. Unfortunately, the Randy Moss Motorsports veteran came up short in the 11th race of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. The No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra consistently ran in the top-five all afternoon, but a final round of varying pit strategies pushed Skinner back to the sixth position, where he would end up finishing the 201-lap race. This sixth-place finish marked the eighth top-10 run for Skinner this season. Read More.
 

Late Race Spin Spoils Top-10 Finish for Tayler Malsam at Memphis

The 20-Year-Old Rookie Starts Last and Comes Home with a 16th-Place Finish

Tayler Malsam’s first trip to Memphis Motorsports Park wasn’t exactly ideal, as temperatures ranged over 100 degrees at the drop of the green-flag for the 11th race of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. Before the 20-year-old’s qualifying effort Saturday afternoon, the No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra had no brake pressure, but the Randy Moss Motorsports team was able to get the problem resolved enough for the Raybestos Rookie of the Year contender to make a run. Unfortunately, the trucks were under an impound situation after qualifying, which meant that Malsam and the One Eighty team would have to start at the rear of the field for the start of the 200-lap event. Read More.
