I was shocked when i read that RBR released A.J. Almendinger. He has skill, although he didnt place near the top often he usually placed the underfunded cars higher up then they should have. He was just beginning to come into his own and with the right team he will be a real contender. I would like to see him join a top tier team, but i doubt that RCR, Rousch/fenway, or hendrick would give him a chance. Maybe ganasie, penskie, or even DEI can find room in their stable for a talent such as him.
