Race Report May 29
After winning his heat, Skyler started the feature second row outside with Tim Carlson on the pole
with Adam Johnson outside. Adam charged out to the lead with Tim dropping
in behind him. Adam pulled out to a fairly sizeable lead while Tim had a
mob behind him including Gary Nelson Jr, Skyler and Davey Mills. Then the
cautions took over the race, 7 yellow flags total....
After the first caution, Skyler raced low in turn two and came out ahead of
Nelson Jr. On the next lap Skyler again worked the inside line. This time on the
back straight he passed Carlson to take over second. Skyler caught Johnson
and began to work high and low, but Adam was in the fast lane and didn't make
any mistakes. Bryan Lepier was able to make a pass of Carlson and he
quickly also caught the leaders to make it a three-car race for the lead.
Lepier used the same inside line on the back straight to pass Skyler for
second. Skyler attempted to come back in turn three but tagged the rear
bumper of Lepier, sending him spinning– bringing another caution flag out.
Skyler was sent to the rear, which ended a great run for him near the front. He
made some great passes and ran with the "big" boys for most of the race,
looking very much like he belonged there. From the rear, he fought back to finish 9th in the 20 car feature.
