Unfinished business for Reutimann

| | Comments (0) |

NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver David Reutimann has some unfinished business at California Speedway. He was looking to crack the top 15 late in the race in February when he crashed and ended up with a disappointing 33rd-place finish.
“I took a hard hit with about seven laps to go during the race in February,” said Reutimann, driver of the No. 00 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing. “We were running just outside the top-15 when another car got into the back of us and turned us hard into the fence. It was going to be a decent day that turned into a disaster. We’ve moved on since then and tried to forget about what happened.”
Reutimann has had success at California Speedway. He won a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series pole there and has three top-15 finishes in the NASCAR Busch Series at the track. But it doesn't mean he has found a comfort level at the track yet.
“I’ve struggled at the track before in the past, but over the years I’ve learned a lot,” Reutimann said. “We had good runs in a truck and decent finishes in the Busch car. We could have had a top-15 finish in the Cup car if we weren’t involved in an accident. We feel good about going back to California and look to have a strong finish in the Burger King Toyota Camry.”
