Notes: Truck young guns making strong statement

In 2010, it is good to be 30 and under with just four races complete on the Camping World Truck Series schedule. Six of the top 10 in the point standings are under the age of 30 and changing the face of this series.

Series standings leader Timothy Peters was born Aug. 29, 1980, and he leads the young contingent of drivers this season posting a win at Daytona, three top-fives and four top-10s in the first four races of the season.

Second in the standings, Aric Almirola is 82 points behind Peters. Almirola was born March 14, 1984, and the young driver is carrying the Billy Ballew Motorsports banner this year, posting one top-five and three top-10s this season.

Seventh and eighth in the standings are two 30-year-olds, Ricky Carmichael and Jason White. Carmichael, born Nov. 27, 1979, has posted two top-10s in the first four races of the season, and White, born July 5, 1979, has been hot out of the gate, sitting on the pole at Daytona and going on to finish in the top-five at the famed 2.5 mile superspeedway.

Rounding out the six young drivers in the top 10 are the two youngest, Tayler Malsam was born Feb. 15, 1989; and the only owner/driver of the group, Kyle Busch, born May 2, 1985. Busch is coming off a win at Nashville, giving his new organization, Kyle Busch Motorsports, its first victory. Busch has one win, two top-fives and a pole in the three starts he has made this season.

Skinner can rebound in this stretch

Last season, Randy Moss Motorsports signed Mike Skinner and in just five races, he gave team owner Randy Moss his first win in the series. Skinner captured the checkered flag in the weather-shortened event at Kansas Speedway. He went on to finish the 2009 season third in the points. He posted three wins (Kansas, Iowa and Gateway), eight top-fives and 17 top-10s.

Following his win at Kansas, Skinner rallied off three top-fives and six top-10s in the next eight races, making this next stretch of the season pivotal in his climb back into championship contention in 2010.

Skinner's last season win at Kansas was no fluke. Skinner has made six starts at the 1.5-mile speedway and has one win, five top-fives and two poles.

Skinner has started 2010 off slow, with a DNF at Daytona, followed up by a 14th-place finish at Atlanta and 27th-place finish at Martinsville. But Skinner rebounded at Nashville, posting his first top-10 of the season.

The 2010 Loop Data shows Skinner is ranked fifth in the average running position category (9.908) and is ranked fifth in laps in the top 15 with 82.7 percent. (Continued)
