Michael Annett

Newton, Iowa (July 28, 2010) – Michael Annett has been looking forward to the NASCAR Nationwide Series’ second ever appearance at his home track, Iowa Speedway, since the start of the 2010 season. Driving Germain Racing’s No. 15 Toyota Camry with presenting race sponsor, Northland Oil, as the primary sponsor, Annett is excited to hit the track again in front of a sold-out crowd of local Hawkeyes cheering him on in the U.S. Cellular 250 presented by Northland Oil and John Deere.

While most Nationwide Series drivers will only be making their second run around Iowa Speedway’s .875 mile track this weekend, Des Moines, Iowa native Annett already holds a prestigious track record at his home track as the driver with the most laps of competitive racing there.

When Nationwide Series races get to the beating and banging and spinning out and conflicts and pit-road confrontations, other drivers would be wise to not try to start anything with Michael Annett.

Annett once led his tier one AAA hockey team, Team Illinois, in penalty minutes. In fact, he led the whole league.
