Elliott’s Week 17 Advice - “don’t be afraid to use Almirola in the 8 car”
Posted By: Elliott Sadler
Well what a weekend out in California. I was prepared for a top ten finish for my car at Infineon, and then had a flat tire. But we are running better and better which is the main thing. My picks had some bad luck as well, so let's get that straightened out here in Loudon.
In the first group this week, I look for the 07 to contend for another win. He has finished really strong at these types of tracks. And they all say that New Hampshire is just a longer version of Martinsville, so that means keep an eye out for the 24. The 48 will be good, as will the 11.
In the next group, I like the 88 and the 26. The 12 will run well, but if you are looking for some dark horses, I like the 43 and possibly the 41 here. And coming off his good run last weekend, the 5 should have a quality finish.
In the last group, I like the 22 and the 66. The 83 and the 28 have been running really well here lately. But if you are looking for a dark horse here as well, don't be afraid to use Almirola in the 8 car in this spot. I have a feeling he could have a good run here this weekend.
Have a good one.
Elliott
