We’re looking forward to representing Skinny Cow Milk at Daytona, and to competing on a regular basis in the Grand Am Cup series in 2006.” Matt Mullins is a full time Driving Instructor at the BMW Performance Driving School in Spartanburg, SC. Additionally, Mullins has been a stunt driver in commercials and movies with the most recent being the Will Ferrell NASCAR feature with the working title “High, Wide, and Handsome” due for release in the summer. He also has a recurring professional driver role in a series of comparison videos for MINI. Mullins began racing in 1990 and has experience in a wide range of cars. He started out in the Russell Formula Mazda series and has performed in various NASCAR racing series, including the NASCAR Winston Late Model Series, the NASCAR Sportsman Superspeedway Series, the ARCA RE/MAX Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
