UPDATE: Explanation why Skinner didn't make race -- The most shocking aspect of Truck qualifying came when Mike Skinner, champion of the inaugural Truck Series season in 1995, failed to make the field. He was unable to use a past champion's provisional because Eddie Sharp Racing entered his truck after the entry deadline.(NASCAR.com)(2-18-2011)
