Bill Davis Racing Quotes:
Michael Annett on racing at O’Reilly Raceway Park Speedway:
“Racing in Indianapolis is so cool. The entire city rallies around these race tracks and makes it so fun for both the teams and fans. It is like a huge party every night. I am excited about racing on both Thursday and Friday nights. The Silver Crown cars are so different than anything else I have driven. They have so much power and you can really be aggressive with your line. I have been excited about this week for months now.

“ORP is one of the best tracks on the NASCAR circuit. It reminds me of racing at the local short tracks in the Midwest. You show up practice, qualify and race all in one day. The fans show up early and stay all day. I know Doug [Wolcott, crew chief] and all the guys on this Pilot Travel Centers Tundra will bring a truck that will run up front. We just need to stay out of trouble all day and get to the final 30 laps and then go for the win.”
