5-Hour Energy 301 | July 19, 2015
Bound for New England…Michael Annett and his No. 46 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet team begin the second half of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season this weekend, making the first of two stops this year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) for Sunday’s race at the mile-long facility.
Annett at New Hampshire…Annett competed in five NASCAR Xfinity Series races at NHMS, averaging a 12.2-place finish, with a best result of fifth coming in his most recent start in 2013. He finished 32nd and 29th in two Cup Series races in 2014.
Michael Annett on New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“At New Hampshire it’s important to get handling where you want it. It helps to be comfortable in the instance you have to save fuel. A lot of these New Hampshire races in the past came down to fuel conservation, so we’ll be ready for that. That could be key in getting track position late in the race.”
