Texas Motor Speedway
AAA Texas 500 | November 8, 2015
Annett, Pilot Flying J Team to Tackle Texas…Texas Motor Speedway, a 1.5-mile intermediate track located in Fort Worth, will host the 34th race of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Michael Annett and the No. 46 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet team scored a top-25 finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a track similar in size and shape to Texas, last month. A top-25 finish on Sunday will also mark Annett’s third such feat in his last four races.
Annett in Texas…In NASCAR Xfinity Series competition, Annett averaged a finish of 16.1 at Texas Motor Speedway, with a best result of ninth coming in 2012. He finished 22nd in the 2014 running of the AAA Texas 500.
Michael Annett on Texas Motor Speedway:
“Usually at Texas, you have to dial in your car for long runs and conserve fuel accordingly, but lately – and last year’s race really comes to mind – we’ve seen a lot of late cautions happen there, which set up restarts. That’s why finding a balance will be so important. We need to focus on making our car equally as good on short runs.”
