Randy Moss Motorsports' Mike Skinner won his third race of the season in a green-white-checkered finish in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Copart 200 at Gateway International Raceway.

Kevin Harvick Inc.’s Ron Hornaday was leading with four laps remaining when a bump from Crafton sent his truck crashing. NASCAR black-flagged Matt Crafton, which gave Skinner the lead. Skinner then hung on for his second victory in as many races.

"I don't believe it," Skinner said. "I have to applaud NASCAR [for black-flagging Crafton]. You just can't wreck the leader to win the race."

The win marks Skinner's eighth top-five of the season. Johnny Sauter, Crafton’s ThorSport Racing teammate, finished second.

"I'm beside myself. I didn't run into the back of him," Crafton said of Hornaday, who remained the series points leader. "If it was halfway through the race, I would have lifted. That is absolutely not what I wanted to do to [Hornaday]."

Crafton finished sixth.

Third through fifth were Xpress Motorsports’ Brian Scott, Billy Ballew Motorsports’ Aric Almirola and Randy Moss Motorsports’ Tayler Malsam.
