“Definitely got down there and the car just didn’t want to turn,” Annett said. “I don’t know if we were on the splitter or if we cut down a right-front (tire). … I cranked on the wheel and it wouldn’t go straight.”
The damage was so severe that he had to roll out his backup car. Because the change took place after qualifying, he’ll start from the rear of the field in tomorrow’s Good Sam 500.
The Sprint Cup Series cars will be back on track for final practice this afternoon at 1:00.
