In NASCAR, it is called the "silly season" when drivers, teams, owners and sponsors switch "rides" before the NEXT season.
This year's FEEL GOOD story may be the possibility of the "Cuban Missle" Aric Almirola going to the HISTORIC #43 of Richard Petty Motorsports.
Almirola has virtially no experience at the HIGHEST/Cup level of the sport; however, he is has had good "rides" with DEI and Joe Gibbs Racing and raced last year for JR (Dale Jr.) Motorsports.
Almirola would be replacing Cup Driver AJ Allmendinger who is going to the #22 Shell car of Uber owner Roger Penske.
Allmendinger's EARLY claim to fame is that his dog, Misty, was used in the movie, Marley and Me.
IMHO * NASCAR drivers treat their PETS better than MOST basketball players treat their WIVES!
