Editor’s note: The “El Corredor” documentary will air Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. ET on FS1’s “Race Hub” program.
For Aric Almirola, knowing where he came from and experiencing it are two different things.
At 6 p.m. ET on Sept. 27, “Race Hub” on FS1 will air its newest short documentary, titled El Corredor. Featuring Almirola, cameras follow the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver for Richard Petty Motorsports as he travels to Cuba for the very first time. In doing so, Almirola was able to trace his family roots and take in the Cuban culture.
Says Almirola: “I want to go to Cuba and see who I am and how I got to be a Cuban American who drives in NASCAR.”
Almirola was born on an Air Force Base in Florida in March of 1984 after his family fled Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
