Triple-duty for Almirola at Texas:

Aric Almirola is set to run all three series this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Friday night Almirola will be driving the #51-Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota in the Camping World Truck Series race. On Saturday he’ll be in the #88-GT Vodka Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series and in Sunday’s Cup race Almirola will drive the #9-Budweiser Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports. “It’s going to be triple duty for me at Texas this weekend. Doing double duty the past couple weeks has been a good experience, but running all three series will be a blast. I’ve raced at Texas in truck and Cup car before, but this will be my first in the Nationwide Series. At the very least, I’m really hoping to continue the GT Vodka team’s streak of top-10 finishes. If things go right, we’ll be able to contend for a top-five,” said Almirola. Almirola has seven truck starts and one start at the Sprint Cup level at Texas, but none in the Nationwide Series.(JR Motorsports PR)(11-3-2010)
