Aric Almirola has dropped his breach-of-contract lawsuit against Earnhardt Ganassi Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Almirola, who drove in seven Sprint Cup races this year for the team before his car was parked because of a lack of sponsorship, filed the complaint earlier this month in North Carolina Superior Court. He had it dismissed last Thursday, according to court records.
Almirola has 26 career Sprint Cup starts, with a career-best finish of eighth at Bristol in March 2008. He drove in 17 races in 2007 and 2008 as he shared the ride with Mark Martin in the No. 8 car at DEI.
He drove in 16 Camping World Truck Series races this year for Billy Ballew Motorsports with seven top-five finishes.
