MICHAEL ANNETT QUOTE:
"We've had some extra time at Kansas this year, having participated in the tire test there right before the spring race. Our mile-and-a-half program has gotten to the point where we're a top-20 car. We finished 18th at Kentucky and 21st at Atlanta. I feel like we can continue to improve on that this weekend.
