Almirola to be back up driver for Johnson in Sprint Cup Series?


From Jayski.com:

Almirola backup driver for Jimmie Johnson, if needed: Aric Almirola will be four-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson's backup driver in the coming weeks as Johnson's wife, Chandra, nears the due date for giving birth to the couple's first child, Johnson said Friday at Pocono Raceway. Chandra is due in five weeks, and Johnson hopes that means the baby will come sometime in the week off between the Chicago race July 10 and the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis July 29. Johnson said he had confidence in Almirola if he needs to relinquish his car. "He'll do a great job in the car and it's just a matter of time before he ends up in a full-time Cup ride," Johnson said. "The other thing that is good for us is our body size and height are very similar so he'll be an easy fit to get in the car."(SceneDaily.com)(6-4-2010)
