Aric Almirola Looks To Continue Amazing Talladega Streak
4 years agoStewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola will begin from the 11th position in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Almirola comes into Talladega needing a vintage run, as he currently sits below the cut line in the Cup Series playoffs. Talladega on the schedule gives most drivers nightmares, but Almirola has been one of the most consistent superspeedway racers in the Cup Series. Amazingly, in his last eight Talladega starts, Almirola has brought home a top-10 finish, including a victory in 2018. If not for getting spun across the start-finish line, Almirola would have probably won, back in June, but settled for third. Almirola's salary is just above average in DFS, and despite his high starting position, Almirola is a driver to target for his ability to finish races at the 2.66-mile track. Unless his luck turns sour, Almirola will contend for the victory.
