NASCAR Truck Series champion Mike Skinner, the driver who burst onto the national scene wheeling Richard Childress Racing’s iconic black Goodwrench No. 3 made famous by Dale Earnhardt, will appear at the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports 2026 Show presented by Can-Am on the second day of the two-day event, Saturday, January 24, at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa.

Skinner famously carried the legendary No. 3 colors to the 1995 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship before becoming Earnhardt’s teammate in the NASCAR Cup Series in 1997, driving the RCR No. 31 sponsored by Lowe’s. 

Over a distinguished career, the California native earned 28 Truck Series victories and 50 poles in 251 starts. He also posted two Cup Series exhibition wins in Japan, three Cup Series poles including one at the Daytona 500, and captured 1997 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year honors while making 286 starts over a 22-year career in NASCAR’s premier division. 

Now 68, Skinner and his wife Angie co-host the popular “Skinner Roundup” show on SiriusXM Radio on Sunday afternoons when no Cup Series race is scheduled.

On Saturday, Skinner will take the stage with NASCAR MRN announcer Steve Post for a one-on-one session from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., then meet fans, pose for photos, and sign autographs from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

The show will also feature tribute displays honoring the careers of Hall of Fame drivers Geoff Bodine and Kenny Brightbill. Shawna Robinson, a pioneering female competitor in NASCAR, will also be on hand. All three drivers will appear on both opening day, Friday, January 23, and Saturday, January 24.

Bodine transitioned from success in Northeast asphalt Modified racing to a NASCAR career highlighted by a victory in the Daytona 500. A native of Chemung, N.Y., Bodine will sign autographs on Friday from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., then join Post on stage from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. to relive his Modified racing days in the Northeast. On Saturday, he will return to the stage with Post to discuss his NASCAR Cup Series career from 1:30 to 3:15 p.m. and sign autographs from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m.

Brightbill recorded 443 career victories at 42 different tracks, including $50,000 wins at the Syracuse and Nazareth mile tracks. Like Bodine, his tribute area will feature a 30-foot wall of career photos and a Modified he successfully drove to victory. Brightbill will greet fans on Friday at 5:00 p.m. before joining Post on stage at 7:45 p.m. On Saturday, he will appear on stage at 2:00 p.m. and sign autographs by his race car at 4:00 p.m.

Robinson will take part in a free Women in Racing seminar on Saturday beginning at 11:00 a.m., followed by a stage discussion with Post at 12:45 p.m. She will sign autographs on Friday at 5:00 p.m. and Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Friday night activities will conclude with the Aqua Duck Water Transport-sponsored Ms. Motorsports competition at 8:00 p.m. The winner will receive $2,500, with $750 awarded to the first runner-up and $500 to the second runner-up. A fan-choice award for best in swimwear will pay $1,000.

Saturday’s schedule will include the Little Miss competition and the annual RAACE Foundation-sponsored Big Wheel races. 

Two featured competitions will add to the action-packed weekend: an Engine Teardown Competition and a Tire Change Competition, both held throughout the show. Additional interactive attractions will be featured across the Expo Center, including the Gearbox Driver Experience simulator presented by Weedsport Speedway and RC2U radio-controlled racing competitions.

The Motorsports 2026 Show fills more than 200,000 square feet of the Expo Center with exhibitors and manufacturers of race car parts and safety equipment, speedways and series displays, and nearly 200 race cars.

Tickets (cash only) will be available at the door beginning one hour before opening, with doors opening at 2:00 p.m. Friday and 10:00 a.m. Saturday.
