Almirola to Return to JGR After Suspension

News summary

Aric Almirola is set to return to Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) for the Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 20 after being suspended due to a physical altercation with Bubba Wallace. The incident occurred during a competition meeting involving JGR and 23XI Racing drivers before the May 25 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Almirola was replaced by Ty Gibbs for that race, raising questions as JGR did not initially provide a reason for the driver change. The altercation marks the second known conflict between Almirola and Wallace, with a previous incident occurring during the 2023 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. Both Joe Gibbs Racing and Wallace have declined to comment on the specifics of the altercation. Almirola, who retired from full-time Cup competition after the 2023 season, returned to JGR in a part-time capacity for the Xfinity Series.
