With two weeks free of competition in
between the last NASCAR Nationwide Series race and this weekend’s
Scott’s Turf Builder 300, Germain Racing’s Michael Annett and the No.
15 Pilot Travel Centers team will venture where the Tennessee and Virginia
state lines meet at Bristol Motor Speedway for the fourth NASCAR
Nationwide Series race of the 2010 season. Returning to a track where in
2009 they scored a top-10 finish in their most recent run there, the No.
15 Germain Racing team heads to the “World’s Fastest Half Mile” with
confidence that their hard work will pay off again.

“Bristol is loud, fast and anything can happen very quickly,” said
crew chief Ryan Fugle, “We finished eighth at Bristol in August, and
we’re bringing that same car with a new body to the track with us this
weekend. We had a great performance last time we were there, and hope to
get another good run there this weekend, especially with it being the home
track of our sponsor, Pilot Travel Centers.”

Annett’s eighth place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway in August earned
him the Raybestos Rookie of the Race award, one of five top finishing
rookie awards he took home last season.

“With Bristol being the home track for Pilot Travel Centers, racing
there and doing well there means a great deal to all of us involved. We
were really happy with our last run at Bristol, and hope we can continue
our success there this weekend,” said Annett, “I’m looking forward
to having the support of the Pilot Travel Centers group from their
headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn. at the track on Saturday. It’s been a
fun journey partnering with them throughout the past four years of my
racing career, and I look forward to our future.”

Race fans will get the opportunity to meet Annett Friday night at Bristol
Motor Speedway for Food City’s Race Night. Annett, along with several of
his NASCAR competitors, will be signing autographs from 6 p.m. until 8
p.m. on Friday.
