Skinner lands ride for Daytona with BDR.

NASCAR veteran Mike Skinner has landed a ride for the Daytona 500 with a third Bill Davis run Toyota Camry, the same team that he has gone to Daytona with for the last two years.

Although no official release has been made by the #23 BDR team, Skinner's official website says that the former Daytona 500 polesitter will once again attempt to qualify the #23 BDR entry with Tommy Baldwin as the crew chief.

Skinner qualified the #23 car a superb seventh for the 2005 Daytona 500 but narrowly failed to make the cut last year.

As the #23 team are only a part-time outfit, Skinner will once again have to race his way into the 43 car starting line-up in the Gatorade qualifying races where he will be competing against fellow BDR new boy Jeremy Mayfield and the teams' #36 entry.
