ALMIROLA QUOTES: WHAT HAPPENED? “I made our day really long. We got a little behind there on that second set of tires. We came in and pitted and I tried to get too much back out of it and went three-wide down the frontstretch and I guess the 47 didn’t know I was out there or what but I hit the wall. Four laps later I cut down a right front and hit the wall some more. We tore up the suspension and tore up the car a little bit and just made our day really long.”
