Mike Skinner passed leader Erik Darnell with two laps to go, then held off Darnell at the finish line to win Saturday night’s Qwik Liner Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Speedway.
“Erik’s truck was awfully good,” Skinner said. “I knew I wasn’t going to wreck to win the race. I was going to push him, bounce off of him, do whatever I needed to do. But he’s a friend. He’s a class act and he has a great future in this business.
Matt Crafton finished third, John Andretti was fourth and Ron Hornaday followed to move within a point of leader Johnny Benson in the season standings.
