STP is a long-time
supporter of Richard Petty and the No. 43 and will also serve as the title
sponsor for the Nationwide Series event this weekend.
Annett has six career starts
at Chicago, accumulating one Top-5 and three Top-10 finishes with an average
starting position of 17.7 and an average finish of 11.3.
"I'm really looking
forward to this weekend in Chicago,” said Annett. “Not only do we have STP on
the car, but we're qualified for a chance to win the Dash 4 Cash bonus. It felt
really good to get our first Top-5 of the season out of the way last week, and
we're definitely ready for more. We had two good runs at this track last year
and I can't wait to see how we can build on that this year.
"To me, it's really
cool that we'll have STP on the car this weekend. I think when everyone thinks
of Richard Petty they think of STP and vice versa, so it's definitely an honor
to drive the No. 43 with the STP logo on it. You have a lot of surreal moments
working for Richard Petty, and I think this is definitely one of them."
His fifth-place finish
at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last weekend was Annett's seventh career Top-5
in the Nationwide Series and earned him eligibility for the Dash 4 Cash program
in Sunday’s STP 300. Annett qualified for the Dash 4 Cash program at this race
last year and followed up with a strong performance at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway where he won the $100,000 bonus for being the highest finishing
regular NNS driver. He hopes for a repeat performance as the top finishing NNS
driver at Chicago.
If car owners were not awarded owners points when drivers collecting points in another series drove their cars do you think the car owners would continue to field cars for drivers collecting points in the other NASCAR series?
