3 years agoAric Almirola is right around the "Round of 12" playoff bubble as the second race of the playoffs takes place at Richmond on Saturday night. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does have three top-ten results in his previous six attempts on the short track. The No. 10 car must do better than 16th last week as he is 11th in the chase standings. All three top tens at Richmond have come in Almirola's last five races. Do not expect him to lead a lot of laps. Almirola has been in front just once in his career (1 lap). The last two races have seen Almirola utilize the flat track well in longer runs where he gains 4-6 mph. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
