ARIC ALMIROLA – No. 43 Smithfield Ford Fusion – “Winning at Daytona is special for anybody, but winning at Daytona, for me, is really special because I grew up here. I grew up sitting in those grandstands and dreaming about what it would be like to have a chance to race here, so to actually get a chance to race a Cup car here and win is unbelievable and very special. We come to Daytona this year with a lot of excitement. We’re the last ones to win here in the Cup Series, so we’re excited about the Daytona 500 and it would be really awesome to get a Daytona 500 win to add to that Coke Zero 400 win.”
