NASCAR Sprint Cup series driver Aric Almirola and Bristol Motor Speedway General Manager Jerry Caldwell will be at the Food City in Hixson at noon today.

Almirola, who won the annual Fourth of July race at Daytona in 2014, also will be with the No. 43 Smithfield show car at the Food City at 5604 Hixson Pike.

Open to the public and free, they will be on hand for the “Food City 500 Cookout.” Race fans can meet Almirola, grab a free BLT sandwich, see the Richard Petty Motorsports race car, and get a preview of the April 15-17 Food City 500 at Bristol. The event is not an autograph session.
