ANNETT: Looks to Duplicate Kentucky Success at Nashville
NOTES:
This week's race truck for Nashville Superspeedway is Chassis No. 22-42.
Chassis No. 22-42 was last raced at Kentucky Speedway, where the 22-year-old
Michael Annett posted the best finish (second) thus far of his NASCAR Craftsman
Truck Series career.
Another Pilot... The No. 22 Toyota Tundra will fly the Pilot Travel
Center colors Saturday night in Nashville. Pilot Travel Centers are located
throughout the United States and are the leading travel center for both truckers
and families.
Autographs Anyone? Annett will join his two Bill Davis Racing
teammates, Johnny Benson and Mike Skinner, Saturday, Aug. 9, in an autograph
session at Nashville Superspeedway. The trio will greet fans from noon to 1 p.m.
at the Craftsman Mobile Marketing Unit, located in the display area on the
frontstretch.
Vacation Needed
Annett has spent the last two weeks with his family
and friends in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. The rookie phenom also tested a
USAC Silver Crown car at Iowa Speedway last Thursday.
1,400th Start
When Dave Blaney took the green flag last weekend in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono (Pa.) Speedway, it marked Bill Davis
Racing's 1,400th NASCAR start. The High Point, N.C., operation has accumulated
37 wins, 172 top-five finishes, 363 top-10 finishes and 66 pole positions in
NASCAR's three premier divisions.
Listen and Watch
The Toyota Tundra 200 is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET
Saturday, Aug. 9. It will broadcast on SPEED (TV), MRN (radio) and Sirius
Satellite Radio (Ch. 128).
Michael Annett on racing at Nashville Superspeedway:
"I am excited about this weekend. We are bringing the truck that finished second
in Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, and we are looking for great things again
this weekend. I just can't say enough about this Bill Davis Racing team. They
bring trucks to the track every week that are capable of running in the top
five. [Crew chief] Doug Wolcott and all the guys on this No. 22 team are really
just a special group. I think Nashville Superspeedway is a track that I can
really get around. It reminds me a lot of my home track in Iowa. You have to be
really smooth all the way through the corners in order to be fast. We are really
looking forward to seeing what we have for the rest of the competition on
Saturday."
