Racing career

Skinner started his racing career in 1998, driving

Key Motorsports did not come to fruition; in March 2008 the team announced that they were looking to field Skinner in up to six Truck races that year, dependent on sponsorship.[5]

After his driving career finished, Skinner transitioned into a mechanic role, working in Florida to prepare racecars in that state.[6] He also helps, along with brother Jamie Skinner, on father Mike Skinner's late model efforts.[7]

In 2020, Skinner came under fire for racist comments made regarding Bubba Wallace, the only Black full-time Cup Series driver in NASCAR, after a noose was found in Wallace's garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway. Skinner stated, "Frankly I wish they would've tied [the noose] to [Wallace] and drug him around the pits because he has single handedly destroyed what I grew up watching and cared about for 30 years now."[8] Skinner later backtracked his statement, saying, "I disagree with what [Wallace] is doing, but it was stupidly foolish for me to say what I said and I truly regret every bit of it. If there was a way to take last night back I would. All I can do is say I'm sorry."[8]
