Back to the Short Track…Michael Annett and his No. 46 Pilot Flying J team will compete at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee this Sunday, the second short track race of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Annett Rides with “PhilMor”…This month, Pilot Flying J is debuting its PhilMor travel mug, available in two sizes (20- and 24-oz.) and $1.99 each in the month of April with a MyRewards card. Customers can receive up to a 60-cent discount on each drink refill. PhilMor will adorn the hood of Annett’s No. 46 Chevrolet SS this weekend at Bristol, Pilot Flying J’s “home track,” roughly 115 miles from its Knoxville, Tenn. headquarters.
Annett at Bristol…In nine NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Bristol, Annett averaged a 14th-place finish (and averaged a ninth-place finish in his four most recent Xfinity starts at the facility). He finished 26th in the spring Cup Series race at Bristol last year.
Michael Annett on Bristol Motor Speedway:
“When you have a good racecar, Bristol is a fun place to race. Everything happens quicker – the closing rates are fast. The initial start to the race is always important. If we can get off to a good start, we can work on track position and focus on getting out with a really good finish.”
