Earlier, renowned NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass took to Twitter and posted the entry list for the Xfinity Series race at Sonoma Raceway. At the end of the list, Almirola’s vehicle no. was listed as 128. Usually, fans are accustomed to seeing double-digit vehicle numbers. Hence, one fan asked Pockrass, “Almirola #128?”

Pockrass clears the confusion

Replying to the fan’s comments, Pockrass said, “When a number is assigned to two different owners (or there is a points swap that requires a new ‘owner’), the three-digit number on the entry list is just a way NASCAR uses to designate which owner for owner points. So Almirola will have 28 on the car (not 128).”
