Skinner easily holds the record for the most laps led with 250 circuits around the 1.33-mile oval. Ron Hornaday trails Skinner with only 145 laps led.

Mike Skinner on driving at Nashville Superspeedway
“We’ve been very close to winning the guitar [the trophy at Nashville Superspeedway] a couple times. I had a four- or five-second lead a couple years ago going into the closing laps. There was a late caution and we got beat on fresher tires. It [Nashville] is one of my favorite places; I have friends in the music business there and we always go in a day early to visit everyone and enjoy the city. There is no negative in going to Nashville; it is one of my favorite tracks and one of my cities.”
Crew Chief Gene Nead on racing at Nashville Superspeedway
“Nashville Superspeedway is a great track, and I’m lucky enough to be working with one of the most successful drivers at the track. Our team has consistently been preparing really great trucks; we just haven’t had the luck to bring home a finish that reflects the capability of our team. We hope to put together the whole package this weekend at Nashville [Superspeedway] and to bring home the coveted guitar [trophy].”
