Aric Almirola said the next bone scan on his broken back is Wednesday, and he expects to test a NASCAR Cup car in the next two weeks. He said the scan should tell him whether he could be back in three weeks at New Hampshire. He was in a shaker rig last week, where the team simulated a bumpy race track as well as dropping the jack. Almirola had no soreness. Almirola: "I'm a racer, and I'm very competitive, and it kills me to watch other people drive my race car."
