KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Mike Skinner waited through two days
and two weather delays to win the rain-shortened O'Reilly Auto
Parts 250 trucks race at Kansas Speedway.
Skinner was in the lead when the race was postponed after 52
laps on Saturday, lost the lead in the pits to defending champion
Roy Hornaday Jr., then went back up front just before the second
rain delay hit Monday.
Skinner was in the pits when the race was called after 132 laps
-- 35 short of the finish -- for his 26th career victory in the
NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series.
Johnny Benson finished second and Brian Scott was third.
Hornaday ended up fourth and trucks rookie Brian Ickler finished
fifth driving in place of series points leader Kyle Busch, who was
at the NASCAR race in Talladega.
