Fox News
Aric Almirola tells "The Fox Garage" that he's leaving NASCAR to spend more time with his wife and two young kids, but that he's not done racing forever.
"I just realized that my family was making a lot of sacrifice for me to chase my dreams," Almirola told "The Fox Garage" in an exclusive interview.
The 37-year-old said his children Abby and Alex, who turn 9 and 10 this year, are getting into their own things, and he wants to be there with them.
"Dad is just not present. I’m not there for the football games, the baseball games. My daughter’s gotten into horseback riding, theater, dance and I miss those on the weekends when I’m traveling all over the country racing for 40 weeks a year," he said.
