Anyone else see that Almirola stated he was told weeks ago that he wouldn't be returning to drive the 43 car next year?

From the article:
"Speaking to NASCAR.com, Almirola said he was informed he would not return to RPM weeks ago and has been looking at employment opportunities with other Monster Energy Series teams ever since."

Also:
"Almirola said there is no news to announce about his 2018 plans, but remained optimistic both he and RPM would land firmly on their collective feet."
 
Good article and the writer hit the nail on the head. A sponsor for women products should get a huge following if they sponsored Danica. I am sure Danica could maintain her running position
in the 43 car as she would be the recipient of all PMS has to offer unlike her current ride.
I said the same thing about Menard to Wood Bros.
