Racing career

Sports car racing

Skeen, along with Scott Heckert, were the drivers of Lone Star Racing's No. 80 Mercedes-AMG GT3 in 2018. They finished 6th in the 2018 standings, with two poles and one win during the season.[1][2]

In 2020, Skeen joined the Trans-Am Series' TA2 class for Stevens-Miller Racing,[3] and won the season opener at Sebring International Raceway.[4]

NASCAR

Skeen ran one race in 2012 in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, driving the No. 31 Chevrolet at Utah. He finished 17th after starting 5th.

In 2013, Skeen debuted in the Truck Series, driving the No. 6 Chevrolet Silverado for Sharp Gallaher Racing in the Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. He finished 13th after starting 3rd due to a wreck in the final turn with Max Papis. The race ended controversially for Skeen as his girlfriend, Kelly Heaphy, slapped Papis after the race, allegedly dislocating his jaw. Heaphy was fined and suspended indefinitely, while Skeen's crew chief was also fined.[5][6]

In 2018, Skeen made his Xfinity debut driving the No. 15 Chevrolet Camaro for JD Motorsports.[5] He finished 28th, 6 laps down, after starting 24th.[7][8]

Skeen returned to the Truck Series in August 2020, joining NEMCO Motorsports for the Sunoco 159 at the Daytona International Speedway road course.[9]
