DES MOINES, IA (February 24, 2007) – Michael Annett has eagerly anticipated the start of his sophomore season since the conclusion of his impressive freshman debut in 2006.

Annett and his TMC Racing Team took advantage of the winter off-season to prepare both on and off the track. In addition to the hectic pace around the shop preparing cars and equipment, Annett has participated in various tests and events to help prepare for his team’s title contention for the ASALMS Challenge Division.

“Everyone on the TMC Racing Team has put in a lot of work during the off season,” commented Annett. “We had a good test at San Antonio a few weeks ago and learned a lot about the track and how our car reacts there. We have also assembled a great team and we are all really working well together so everyone is ready to kick this year off with a strong run in Texas.”

Annett will make his debut at the high-banked, half-mile oval of San Antonio Speedway for the ASALMS Challenge Division season opener on March 2-3, 2007.
