Aric Almirola Gets Fresh Start With JR Motorsports

Filed under: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Nationwide Series, NASCARA driver who has bounced around all three of NASCAR's top divisions may have finally latched on to a consistent ride for next season.

JR Motorsports -- owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- announced Wednesday that Aric Almirola will be their full-time Nationwide Series driver in 2011, with the opportunity to make a few starts in the No. 88 at the end of this season.

"We raced at ORP together a month ago and had a really good run," Almirola said in a team news release after being announced to the JR Motorsports shop. "There is no reason why we cannot compete like that every race, and there is no reason why we shouldn't be running for a championship. I would expect nothing less."

No sponsor has been announced for the team for next season -- an issue that caused this season's original full-time No. 88 driver to leave the team. Kelly Bires signed with JRM for the season only to be released from the team after the sixth race at Phoenix. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
