Aric Almirola took a dominant win in Saturday's National Debt Relief 250 at Martinsville Speedway, while Playoff contenders Cole Custer and Chandler Smith got into a heated exchange after the race.
Aric Almirola was all business on Saturday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway as the veteran racer, who is driving part-time for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this year, marched to a dominant win in the National Debt Relief 250. After taking the seventh win of his Xfinity Series career, Almirola had high praise for his team and the car they brought to the track on Saturday.
With the win, Almirola's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team will advance to the NASCAR Xfinity Series owners' Championship 4. The win marks Almirola's third victory of the season, and the 40-year-old swept both NASCAR Xfinity Series events at Martinsville Speedway this year. While Smith has roughed up Custer a few times this year, Smith says he was frustrated because he felt that he and Custer had made things good as Smith had reached out to him to apologize after Kansas. The apology fell on deaf ears after Smith proceeded to bump and nudge Custer's bumper for five laps at Martinsville before eventually knocking him out of the way.
Custer ultimately failed to achieve a Championship 4 berth for his Stewart-Haas Racing team with Almirola's win.
