Joe Gibbs Racing’s Aric Almirola, a Hispanic native of Tampa, Fla., will move into the Craftsman Truck Series after a successful stint in Late Models through the team diversity driver development program. The 21-year-old has two top-10s in three truck starts this year. “He’s done a great job,” J.D. Gibbs said. “You saw the same kind of spark in him you saw in Denny running Late Models, winning stuff everywhere.”(Richmond Times Dispatch)(11-7-2005)
