• Michael Annett’s best finish on the 1.366-mile oval at
Darlington came in the second race there last season, when
he finished eighth.
• Annett has earned three top-10 finishes in the last five
races, the best being a sixth-place effort at Las Vegas. A
seventh-place run at Atlanta and a 10th at Martinsville
followed in the next two races.
• In Darlington tradition, Annett will carry the green and
white Gatorade colors made famous by Darrell Waltrip and
DiGard Racing this weekend. As well, race fans can
purchase one Gatorade product and get another free
through the Pilot Flying J app through May 9.
“Coming back to Darlington with DW’s Gatorade colors
means a lot to me and to Pilot Flying J. Last year, in the first
race back after the pandemic, we had a really fast
Chevrolet, and the second race we were really good and
finished eighth. We’re finally into the part of the schedule
where we can go to the track every week, and I think that
will really help us get some momentum going. Bummy
(Bumgarner, crew chief) and the No. 1 team are ready to
get to work and Darlington is a great place to kick it off.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
