“Switching teams has been really exciting. I’ve enjoyed the last six seasons at RPM, but anytime that change is introduced, it's fresh, it's new and exciting. It kind of breaks the monotony,” Almirola said.
“For the last six years over the offseason, there hasn't been a lot to do. It's been pretty mellow and relaxed and routine. So this year has been completely the opposite.”
He’s had to get new seats installed in his new cars and learned the names of a host of new team members with which he’ll be working this year. He’s even come across a few with whom he worked many years ago at Dale Earnhardt Inc.
“That part's been fun to rekindle those relationships that I've had in the past. But just to go (to the shop) and see the operation ... when you drive up to the complex, it's so big and so massive. They have so many resources at their fingertips inside their race car shop,” he said.
“You see all the trophies in their trophy case and their championship trophies – it’s very evident why. Just the attention to detail, the amount of people pulling in the same direction. It’s incredible to see first-hand.”
A huge opportunity
Almirola’s move to SHR is the biggest opportunity of his career.
