Career Best Finish for Reutimann at California
Courtesy: Elevation Group

FONTANA, CA - Over the past three races, David Reutimann and the UPS Team have qualified their #44 Toyota in the front of the field but until this weekend’s Pepsi 500, finishing there had eluded the Michael Waltrip Racing driver and team. On Sunday, Reutimann finally reaped the desired results as he posted a ninth place finish at the Auto Club Speedway, his career-best finish in the Sprint Cup Series.

“I guess it’s saying something when you leave here and you’re disappointed with a top-10,” Reutimann said following the race. “I felt like we were a top-five car.  We didn’t luck into anything.  We just fought hard all night and ended up with a pretty good finish.  I enjoyed it --it was a lot of fun.  On nights like tonight it doesn’t seem all that hard when the cars drive like they do. I’m proud of my guys, they did a good job.”

Starting from the 12th position, Reutimann moved his The UPS Store / Toys for Tots Camry into the top-10 within the first lap of competition. From the drop of the green flag, Reutimann proved lap after lap that his run at the front of the field was no fluke as the Florida native posted dominant lap times. In fact, within 15 laps Reutimann moved the #44 into the seventh position.MORE

Reutimann Finishes 8th in California

FONTANA, CA (August 30, 2008) David Reutimann struggled with a loose racecar for most of the night and finished eighth in the NASCAR Nationwide Camping World RV Service 300 at The Auto Club Speedway. This is Reutimann’s second eighth place finish in a row, Thirteenth top-ten of the year.

Before Saturday night’s race, driver and crew worked hard on trying to find the proper set up for the Aaron’s Dream Machine on the two-mile Superspeedway.  Reutimann felt like his car was sliding around and was not quick enough through turns one and two. His car was free center off which made it hard to get back on the throttle as quickly as he wanted. After making a few minor adjustments, the #99 Aaron’s Dream Machine posted the seventh fasted time during the last practice secession and would be good for qualifying as well as the race.  MORE
