Annett Rolls on to Richmond…Michael Annett and his No. 46 Switch Hitch Chevrolet team travel to Richmond International Raceway (Va.) for Saturday night’s 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. The event at the 3/4-mile track is the second-to-last short track race of the 2015 season.

Switch Hitch Back on Board…Annett’s No. 46 Chevrolet will be adorned by Switch Hitch. Invented by Terry Brinkley after he experienced problems with traditional hitch balls, Switch Hitch is a tri-ball hitch system designed to quickly switch from one ball to another through a patented switching and locking mechanism. For more information, please visit www.switch-hitch.com.

Annett at Richmond…Annett made nine RIR starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, with his six most recent outings resulting in top-20 finishes. His best effort was a fifth-place score in the fall 2012 race.

Michael Annett on Richmond International Raceway:
“Richmond is one of my favorite tracks, one where I felt I drove pretty well in the Xfinity Series. I like that it provides opportunities regardless of your track position – as long as you’re car is comfortable, you can get through the field. It’s a driver’s track.”
