STUMPMI, here are the stats on Aric Almirola... here are his previous Talladega results...


Year Race no. STart. Finish. Status
2010 33 37 20 188/188 Running
2008 9 28 33 186/188 Running
2008 30 3 13 190/190 Running
2007 30 38 30 156/188 Engine

He had to take a time out and go back to Nationwide, where he ran just "ok" for a couple of years. He has definitely run some laps at Talladega in the past.... 720 laps of it, in fact. And he was running at teh end of 3 out of 4, lost the engine in the other... seems to be able to get his car to the finish, on the lead lap half the time.


Guess there won't be any of those Toyotas in teh top 10 either, kind of like back at Richmond, right? Like, that wasn't a Toyota that won?

Don't forget that NASCAR bungled the call at the 2010 Mountain Dew 250 Camping World Truck race, which Aric Almirola should have won. They gave it to Kyle Busch, even though he had 2 tires below the double yellow line.

They really opened up a can of worms with the stupid double line rule, which was made on the spot when Regan Smith beat Pony in 2008. I remember that one vividly of course. I hold it dear to my heart and reference it often. Because every driver in the garage knows what they were told in the drivers meeting and every driver in the garage knows who really won that race. Some even said so on camera before being silenced by Nascar management. It was the only time is recent history they took the win away from somebody

 

Lots of action in the ARCA and Nationwide races!.....

If thats an indicator of whats going to happen at the cup race....
We are sure in for lots of action and mayhem!...

Oh Ya! What a shocker!

Well it's time to put my picks in. I know there's not going to be much surprise coming from me as I've picked this same group of drivers in most of my races.
