Almirola and team owner Richie Wauters, have two second-place finishes together at the 2.66-mile superspeedway and look to pick up the victory in the running of the Fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola.
Almirola has posted two top-five finishes in three starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at the Talladega, Alabama racetrack. Wauters, as crew chief, has scored one victory (Kyle Busch, 2009) and four top-five finishes in six just six starts.
“It is great to have Aric (Almirola) back in the truck with us for Talladega,” Richie Wauters said. “Anytime we have the opportunity to have Aric in the truck we know we will have a successful weekend, especially at a track like Talladega. Aric excels at aerodynamics and drafting so we are all looking forward to a good finish. We have had a lot of success together at Talladega and hope to pick up a win for Ford and our sponsor Jordan Truck Sales this weekend.”
