Michael Annett, a former racecar driver with 436 starts across NASCAR’s three national touring series, has passed away.

JR Motorsports, one of Annett’s former teams, announced the news on social media Friday. The cause of death was not released.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Annett family with the passing of our friend Michael Annett,” the team wrote on Facebook. “Michael was a key member of JRM from 2017 until he retired in 2021 and was an important part in turning us into the four-car organization we remain today.”

Annett was 39.

Annett made 321 starts in the Xfinity Series, 158 of them with JRM, according to NASCAR. His sole national series victory came in 2019 when he won the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 1 JRM Chevrolet.
