Almirola to be promoted at DEI
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Dale Earnhardt Inc. will use Aric Almirola full-time next season in a promotion that will free Mark Martin to move to Hendrick Motorsports next season. Almirola and Martin have shared a ride since the middle of last season, but Almirola will pilot the No. 8 Chevrolet exclusively in 2008, DEI said Tuesday. Martin is expected to replace Casey Mears in Hendrick's No. 5 car, and an official announcement is scheduled for Friday at Daytona International Raceway. Almirola began sharing the ride with Martin last summer after he gained his release from Joe Gibbs Racing. In 11 Sprint Cup Series starts, Almirola has one top 10 - an eighth-place finish in his season debut at Bristol in March.
