3 years agoAric Almirola expects to have quite a battle on his hands on Sunday at Daytona. He begins from the 38th position after a disastrous duel race on Thursday night. Almirola did qualify fourth earlier in the week but his practice sessions have been around the top ten. Aside from the 29th in the first practice, Almirola looked pretty good until again the Duel. Can he overcome the issues with speed and drafting in the long runs? Almirola has not performed well in the Stewart-Haas Racing car during the Daytona 500. Aside from an 11th place finish in 2018, the hope for Almirola is he can improve from his 38th place start. Place differential is his appeal in DFS.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
