One of the more seasoned veterans in the Xfinity Series sets off on his 10th season of racing in this division of NASCAR. Now with 295 starts, Annett is one of the elder statesmen in this racing series. While he didn't scratch the win column in 2020, Annett did harvest a career-best 22 Top-10 finishes during a couple hot streaks he had during the campaign. The 34-year-old JR Motorsports driver has established a statistical base line over the past couple seasons with his level of skill. It would seem that he's pegged for 18-20 Top 10's and a points finish somewhere around 9th-to-10th-place. Considering how young and competitive Annett's surroundings are, it will be a challenge to hold onto these marks. He'll have a new crew chief for the upcoming season in Mike Bumgarner. Bumgarner has 64 starts and four victories of Xfinity Series crew chief experience. He should help Annett to keep racing at a high level.
