3 years agoAric Almirola surprises many when they start researching all sorts of metrics at Phoenix Raceway. Almirola does excel on the one-mile track with six top-11 results in his last eight races. He has led some laps and a couple of times nearly won the race. Some bad luck has indeed plagued him at crucial times. However, the No. 10 car has been quite fast with solid downforce in the tri-oval. Almirola carries an average finish of 9.86 into Phoenix which is the sixth-best among active drivers. While he may not win, that car will be near the front. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
