Analysis:

Almirola will bring the historic STP sponsorship and Petty color scheme back to Martinsville this weekend. He sits a respectable 13th overall in the driver standings coming to the small Virginia oval, and looking to grab a good finish. Almirola collected 12th- and 16th-place finishes at this facility last season, and he should slot around the Top 15 once again this weekend.
