The decision to put Almirola into the U.S. Army-sponsored car full time had nothing to do with
Martin's decision to return to a full-time Sprint Cup schedule and make one last run at a championship
, sources said. It had more to do with advancing Almirola's talents and taking advantage of the appeal he has shown with sponsors looking for a younger driver. One of those is U.S. Army, whose target audience fits the 24-year-old Almirola much more than the 49-year-old Martin.(ESPN.com)(7-1-2008)
