Michael Annett

Las Vegas, Nev. (March 1, 2010) – On the top of their game for the first half of the NASCAR Nationwide Series Sam’s Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Michael Annett and Germain Racing’s No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers team had an unfortunate turn of events and were forced to end the race early.

LAS VEGAS -- You can't fault Michael Annett for watching the events of the last few weeks at the Vancouver Winter Olympics with more than a passing interest. He certainly knows first-hand what it's like to lace up the skates and drop the puck.

Annett is 12th in the current Nationwide Series points heading into Saturday's Sam's Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but before his racing career took off, he won a minor-league hockey championship as a defenseman with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League.
