Michael Annett will wheel the No. 02 for Young’s Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Knoxville Speedway, the team announced Monday, July 5.
Annett’s truck will carry sponsorship from TMC Transportation.
It’s Annett’s first Truck event since 2014 at Eldora Speedway in which he finished 25th. He ran nine total Truck events and recorded a best finish of second at Kentucky Speedway in 2008.
“Michael is a huge addition to the Young’s Motorsports team this weekend at Knoxville,” Team Principal Tyler Young said in a release. “We believe he has the capabilities of delivering our organization another top-10 finish this season in such a prestigious race which also holds a lot of sentimental value to not only himself, but the entire Annett and TMC Transportation family.”
