In 2012, Skinner made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series, competing in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 39 Chevrolet owned by Mario Gosselin. Skinner ran a consistent race, but was collected in an accident on the final lap of the event, finishing 15th.
Skinner planned to compete in selected events in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series late in the 2012 season, but his next major race in 2012 was at Bristol Motor Speedway in the Nationwide Series for Rick Ware Racing in August.
