Aric Almirola Thrives On Tracks Like Talladega
2 years agoYes, Aric Almirola knows that Talladega can be quite unforgiving. However, the Ford driver has an average finish of 15.3 in his previous seven races. Keep in mind, his Stewart-Haas Racing car was quite fast in the first sector along with Chase Briscoe (qualified fifth). Again, Almirola has not won recently at Talladega but nearly snagged a top ten result in the Spring. Almirola started 23rd, got up to seventh after Stage 2, but caught a bad line on the long run. The drop to 13th was not terrible but Almirola showed he can contend on what is a very tough track.
