Lebanon, Tenn. (June 7, 2010) – In the first stand-alone NASCAR
Nationwide Series race of the 2010 season, Germain Racing driver Michael
Annett recorded a top-15 finish in the Federated Auto Parts 300.
Annett’s 14th place finish at Nashville Superspeedway boosted him two
spots in the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship point standings to
13th, just 31 points outside of the top-10.

The No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers Toyota Camry started the 225 lap race 20th.

While fighting a tight handling condition, Annett was running 15th when
the call was made to pit under green on lap 59 for new tires, fuel and an
air pressure adjustment. Just as the No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers Toyota
Camry returned to the track, a caution came out on lap 61. With a loose
lug nut from the previous pit stop, the No. 15 was forced to pit road
again on lap 64, causing Annett to go two laps down to the lead lap cars.

Determined to fight his way back, Annett ran fast, consistent lap times
waiting for his break to put him back on the lead lap. With a wave around
and Lucky Dog free pass, the No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers Toyota was back
on the lead lap, competing for position on lap 112.

Annett worked his way into the top-15 again by lap 133, but continued to
fight a tight condition until the finish. The No. 15 Pilot Travel Centers
Camry drove through the checkered flag in 14th.

The Nationwide Series will now compete in their second consecutive
non-companion race as they travel to Kentucky Speedway for the Meijer 300.
Starting fourth and finishing seventh in the 2009 Meijer 300 at Kentucky,
the 1.5 mile D-shaped oval proves to be a very strong track for Annett.
Watch and listen live to coverage of next Saturday’s Meijer 300 on ESPN
and PRN at 7:30 p.m. ET.
